Quote #10
"Women can't afford to wait like men can, you know. And being a detective must make it hard to have a serious relationship, doesn't it? It must be a lot of pressure for her." (17.63)
Rosalind is being manipulative here. (When is she not?) But she speaks the truth in some way—it is a lot harder for Cassie to be a detective as a woman. Although the issues Rosalind speaks of aren't necessarily at the forefront of Cassie's mind now, they might be later if she wants to start a family of her own.
