The Rose and the Glass, Part II

Right-oh. Here we have part two of the Rose and the Glass. It's much, much shorter and, so far, contains no sex what-so-ever.
this is, in fact, where the sense of 'oh, shoot, that might have been a mistake' kicks in.
The intention is for it to be short-lived.
Is it *too* short-lived?

Help me, please!

Show White, Part I
(With some changes made).

Okay. I *know* that needs work. Beta me, please. ( I need suggestions. )
