<strong><br/>Rowena and Tyler at tea the scones departed</strong><br/><br/>Rowena listened intently as Tyler spoke of his patience and she considered what her father may think of the major, she was sure that he would approve of him that he would like him although she had not yet mentioned certain affair shes thought she should.  She was not sure if she should mention the curse that fell upon her and her mother, she had mentioned the gifts but not the price it took from her family and the fear it caused in her father and herself.<br/><br/>Rowena's smile dropped and she clutched gently at his hand upon her own more firmly as she looked to him,<em>"It is silly Tyler, but there is something you must know about my gifts they where my mothers before they where mine you see.  And with them comes a price my mother died in bringing me into this world, she not only gave me life but her gifts and own life to do so, it was a terrible burden upon her and my fathers soul and a torment he lives with till this day.  My father calls it the Bleakmore curse although it does not affect the whole family, in fact few know it in our line but it is very real my father assures me.  I understand if this changes your feelings to me Tyler, although it does not change mine toward you nor did it my mothers to my father." <br/></em><br/><br/>After a moment she smiled again and answered his other questions<em>"If you feel you have time to walk with me I would not decline such an offer, if it is still your wish after my disclosure Tyler I would not wish to hold you up however.  Don't worry about my aunt I am sure she will buy the story that I have gone to attend to business with the theater, she won't approve but she will likely not raise a fuss about it as she is used to such from me ."  </em>
