Then, as though disturbed by a troubling dream, she suddenly began to cry.

Her voice was barely above a whisper, soft like mewling kitten, but it tore at Howards heart Howard, unsure of how to comfort her, clumsily lifted a hand and placed it on Rosies back, parting her gently once, then twice.

Somehow, Rosie quieted down, looking calmed by his touch.

Howard looked down at her, brushing the hair from her face as he softly said, Good girl.

After a short pause, he sighed.

Im sorry, it was my fault you got hurt.

Though he hadnt hurt her, her pain was a result of his actions.

Looking at her face, he faintly noticed Bobbys resemblance in her features.

Rosie had lost count of how many times she had tried to speak, her lips growing stiff.
