"I think Rose is too tired to continue," I say as Rose lays her head on my shoulder. Scar is holding the purple pony and the giraffe that Rose had won. It took her almost an hour to win the giraffe. "We should probably get back to the hotel.""I'll take Fiore," Rosi says as I hand Rose over to Rosi. "Don't you have to tell Logan and Scarlett."I glare at him as he smirks at me. Scar gives me a confused expression as I look over at my two friends. Rosi walks ahead of us with Rose.

Rose has her tongue out slightly as she concentrates on her drawing. She holds up one finger with her free hand to tell me to wait a moment. "Rose now."

We get down to the pool and Rose attempts to put on her float by herself. I help her put it on but tell her to wait until I get into the pool. She sits on the groan and slips of her sandals, while throwing her towel next to them. I roll my eyes at my daughter's eagerness before I slip off my sandals and cover up. Nicola is setting his towel and phone down on a chair next to me. "Are you ready baby girl?" I ask Rose as she stands up."Wets go momma!" Rose smiles as she grabs my arms and takes me to the steps.
