She couldn't bring herself to pin all the blame on Cedric, not when that would feel like backstabbing.

"Nelly, stop being so stubborn. Listen to me and come home. I promise nothing will happen to you."

"If that's all you've got to say, then don't say anything at all."

Noelle hung up the phone decisively. She wasn't going to follow Frank's advice.
