Rosalie put down her cutlery, and stood up to leave.

After Rosalie left, Rebecca turned to Theodore. "Why are you sitting there like you're mute? You should've said something!"

Theodore smiled bitterly. "What could I say? Even if I agreed, Rose might not. She doesn't want to be close to me, so even pretending will be stressful for her."

Rebecca shook her head in resignation. "I'm tired of reprimanding you. Have you thought about getting her back? You should be persistent. Rose is kind and soft-hearted. If you stick around, she'll eventually come back."
