Chapter 55

Theodore tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep. Thinking about what Rose had said to him before she left made him feel like there was a gaping hole in his chest. The various complex emotions. running through him left him feeling restless.

He got out of bed and approached Rosalie's room door. After hesitating for a while, he lightly knocked on the door.

"Rose, are you asleep?"

He received only silence as a reply. It was already late, so she should be asleep by now. He turned to leave, but felt uneasy, so he turned back and knocked on the door again!

"Rose, I need to talk to you. Can I come in?"

Still, nothing but silence.

He sighed. "I know you don't want to see me right now, but I want to apologize. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that today.

"I've been doing and saying everything wrong today, and I hurt you. I know I'm not a good man. I'm truly sorry. If I could have another chance, I would have been clear with you from the start. I would never hurt you. But unfortunately, there are no 'ifs'.

"Let me in, okay? I want to talk to you calmly, without fighting. I feel like there are misunderstandings between us. Like about that crystal bracelet. I picked it out myself, I didn't ask anyone else."

He knocked on the door again. "Rose, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as consent and come in, okay?"

Gripping the doorknob, he pushed the door open to find an empty room, with the light left on and the bed unmade. The door of the
