Who knew what might happen later? She couldn't promise the future, but at least for now, she wasn't angry with him.

Rosalie saw the bright display showing the n"Cindy".
Her heart immediately sank. Just as she told him she wasn't angry, a surge of fury rose in her chest. The feeling grew stronger when she saw Theodore answering the call.

There was a long silence from Rosalie. In the silence, only their breaths could be heard.
Theodore didn't wait for her response, or press her for an answer Instead he held her tightly from behind. After a while, Rosalie said, "She called you. Why didn't you go?"
