She also didn't want to give Rosalie empty hope. If she were mistaken, it would only lead to disappointments for Rosalie.

They were already divorced, anyway. It no longer mattered what Theodore really felt.

"Yes, I have no idea what's blinding him. I can't figure out what's so good about Cynthia Zeller. At least the woman Wesley fell in love with back then was a true talent."

Rosalie smiled. "Maybe Theo just found his soulmate. No matter who she is, she's bound to make him fall in love with her."

Sydney stared at her. "What's the matter?"
