Rosalie was very silent as she sat in the shotgun seat. She even forgot to buckle her safety belt. Thankfully, Sydney enjoyed doing so for her and had done it before driving.

Sydney drove on for a few seconds in silence. She glanced at Rosalie a few times, worried. Finally, she couldn't hold herself back and murmured, "I know I was wrong to bring you there. I didn't expect Theo to..."

"Mom," Rosalie cut her off. "This has nothing to do with you. You didn't want this to happen, either. It's alright, I've gotten used to it."
