"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!"

"Did you arrange this meeting just so we can talk?" Rosalie took a few steps back. "No, I can't meet him. I've already said we're done with each other. I can't..."

"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!"

"If he dares to humiliate you, I'll beat him! Can you give yourself another chance? I know you're suffering too. Seeing both of you in pain reminds me of my relationship with his father. But I still believe that you and Theodore are different from us back then. You have feelings for each other, so it's different!"

Sydney's words were usually icy, but this time her eyes held tears. She seemed to be recalling something, something that she had also suffered through. She could empathize with Rosalie.
