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 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.

"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."
