Theodore shut his eyes, and tried to control the fire burning in his heart.

"Stop laughing," he hissed.

His chest was almost bursting with anger.

Sydney coughed dryly, and said, "Fine, I'll stop laughing. I have no idea why Rose blocked you. Why don't I bring her along to our next meeting? I did ask Rose to come with me when I meet you. That's a good chance for you to ask her."

Sydney sighed. "Son, it's because sometimes...you're annoying."
