If you want to say good-night to Rosie before you go, now's the time. Her light is going off in… She looked at her watch. Fifteen minutes. Fine, he said, standing. Did I do all right today? I mean, she didn't run screaming from the room or anything. You did very well, Sean. I'm impressed. He smiled a small smile, asking himself why that felt so good coming from her.
In this excerpt from "Angel's Peak" by Robyn Carr, a character expresses a sense of urgency to say good-night to someone named Rosie, indicating that her time is limited as her light is about to turn off.
