Zara couldn't stop herself from getting curious and asked with concern as she got up from her chair to sit next to Rose.
"Come on, girl, what happened? Tell me," she urged Rose with a playful smile. It was meant to lighten the atmosphere, even though it seemed so cold.
Rose sighed, finally turning her head to look at Zara.
"It's Rolan," she began, observing the curious expression on Zara's face. "He asked me out for coffee, and I went with him..."
"Well, I have nothing to say to you... This is totally not smart of you. Do you even know what you're doing, Rose?"
Rose silently fumbled with her hands as Zara scolded her. Zara's voice was loud, almost as if she was ready to yell.
Rose wanted to defend herself. She believed she wasn't at fault.
