Rose gaped at him. When she found her voice again, she used it the way women in her family had done for generations. Sharply.

That made me snort. I now have a desire to see all those other women in her family besides Jackie. ;)

I loved Rose's indignation here, and I definitely sympathize! *shudder* And that speech from Nine at the end was brilliance. It figures, no matter which man he is, he just can't spit it out. This was lovely!
