Predictable twist? Spoilers, obviously.


Did anyone else immediately suss that Rose was seeing Robert?

I don't know how may obvious clues were staring us right in the face...it came as no shock, really...

* Rose is texting someone constantly, yet they are never really referred to.
* Rose is the one to set up the meeting with her parents and Robert. Too perfect.
* When Robert talks about his romantic fiction, he alludes to a very certain type of reader; very obvious he's talking about teenage girls.
* When Robert first arrives, Rose gives him a rather odd look. She seems oddly shy around most people in the story, and yet to him, there was no shyness there. It was a dead giveaway.
* When the other sister's boyfriend is sneaking around the cottage and looks in the window, he sees a girl dancing, and everything about her physique to the ponytail gave away it was Rose. Besides, which, she'd have better access to get to his cottage without being seen than a date.
* The showing up of the sudden new "friend" was decidedly suspicious judging by the way Chloe responded. It was further made suspicious by the fact Rose didn't have an idea of where they were going. Clearly the friend is her excuse to go out and see Robert.
* Rose's attitude towards the baby when Chloe went to check out the cottage. She was told to watch her but instead was sitting typing on her laptop.
* When the "handwriting analysis" scene takes place, Rose passes a note with "do you know who I am?" written on it. It was more than a shy playful teaser, it was a very serious signal that she was hiding something more. When the comment is made about how she would fall in love very deeply (something akin to those words) I thought "Yeah, 'cause she's in love with the tenant."

There were a lot of other clues, who else spotted other things? I can't think of them all right now. While I have anyone's attention, was there any proof that Robert was actually an author at all? He talks about his stories but seemed to reel them off the top of his head like he made them up as he went along. I wondered if he were a fanfiction author or something along those lines, unpublished. I felt it was rather obvious the way he downplayed his work that he was trying to make sure the parents had no interest in reading it. I didn't think any of his work existed and I can't remember if anyone found one of his books in the cottage or in the house.
