Rosie popped one in her mouth and continued, No matter how you slice it, you cant completely cut ties with him, can you? Sienna paused, her fingers frozen mid shelling as she suddenly looked up.

Just like you and the Flynn family, they took you in and helped you, but they also hurt you. Thats the truth Rose sighed.

If you could just hate them without any reservations, it would be simpler ..
