While Rose finds a perfectly nice possible husband, Eddie tries to convince her there’s more to life than getting married. Eddie is horrified that Rose is seriously considering getting hitched and wants to break up their near lifelong sense of closeness. They’re twenty-year-old women, which means it’s time to enter the marriage mart – at least for Rose, who faces the possibility of marriage with equanimity rather than enthusiasm (and her suitor is not that bad of a fellow). She practices her prose – and her kissing – on Rose Li, her best friend since they were children.
