Adrian

Adrian is unhappy with how her sister acts. Her only vice, which she hates, is that she smokes. She will be going to college the following fall. Her Mother came to talk to her and insisted that Adrian stay outside a bit longer. That is when the Rose Woman appeared and took Adrian to her garden. Adrian sniffed many roses, not liking each dream it showed her, good or bad, because it showed the strained relationship between her and Samantha. When she came to a small bud, she thought about picking that one, because it showed her sister and her trying to make up, but left it be, saying that it needed time to grow. In the end, Adrian chose not to pick a rose, instead, choosing to figure things out as she went along, knowing that she would never see the Rose Woman or the garden again.
