"Mom, please stop saying these things. He doesn't love me!" Rosalie's emotions were getting out of control. "If he loved me, he wouldn't have divorced me for Cynthia, and he wouldn't have repeatedly chosen Cynthia over me and caused me so much pain! He doesn't love me at all!"

"Because Theo is a fool!" Sydney said. "He wasn't loved as a child, so he doesn't know what love is. He himself is confused! The purpose of meeting him today is so that you two can meet and talk it out, and for you to ask him whom he truly loves!"

"You stop right there!" Sydney grabbed her arm. "Rosalie, why are you so cowardly? What's wrong with meeting him?"

"He doesn't love me! Meeting him would just be humiliating! He divorced me for Cynthia. No matter what, I can't possibly salvage the relationship!"
