Rosie put the rest of her unfinished meal on the table. It felt like it was the first time she had no appetite. She was busy thinking about herself and Nicholas…
However, Nicholas looked so sincere… It made Rosie feel guilty for yelling at the man. Her attitude was too much even though Nicholas had enough respect for Rosie. The man was never pushy. He did everything Rosie wanted.
Nicholas started asking Howland for permission, buying her lots of food by the roadside, protecting her from the rain so she wouldn't get sick, paying for a room to warm herself up, bringing her food, and being there for her when the man knew Rosie was sad.
Even though his approach was wrong, Rosie couldn't help but admit that Nicholas was quite a good man….
