filled her void she stated “ Here is a man that can fill all empty spaces you been tipping around the edges of. One of them empty spaces was being somebody’s mother” It seems Rose wanted another child other than Cory, which explains why she treated Lyons, her stepson as her own giving him money when he needed it pg 14 but without months of sexual encounters with Troy and their financial stability it was never the topic of discussion to breed another child.
