"I wouldn't put it past her to blink and say, 'I thought you already were dating',"she said, still chortling in amusement. Rosie had a very straightforward and practical way of looking at things most times.

Not too fast though; that was a reason she was secretly glad Arrin wasn't on another racing team, because she just never could seem to allow herself to run too far ahead.
