Re: Rose and Bryn
She heard the edge in his voice and it made her coward some. With a shake of her head, she said, "I didn't. I just seriously thought about it." It was the truth, but Rose wasn't sure if it was reassuring or not. She had been smart enough to get help, but she felt she shouldn't have let it gotten that far.
Crossing the room, she took a seat opposite of him. At first she looked at her hands, wondering what she should do with them. After deciding they were best if folded, Rose folded her hands and looked at him.
"I need help; help I apparently have not been getting even though I thought I was," she said slowly. There was a lot she wanted to say, yet she didn't want to rush things. "I was very scared when I finally realized what I had been thinking about doing. I didn't think I was that sick, but I am. I see that now."
Rose swallowed. "I also see that I need to focus on myself, which I hadn't been. I was focusing on you and us and other things. Things that I want, like happiness and love and a family and a future, but none of those matter if I'm not myself. You were right when you said I wasn't myself and you were right to say we rushed things. I'm sorry about that. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am about that."
