Days passed, and Rosie found herself at a crossroads. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of guilt. She wanted to make things right.

 

She knew this was a risk. She understood that her persistence could be interpreted as intrusive or unwelcome, but something in her heart told her to keep trying. Or, at least, to fix what she had done wrong.
