Elijah worried he had done something wrong again when she pulled back and cried anew. He was prepared to give her a fresh handkerchief if needed, but for now watched her with genuine concern. Rose truly didn't deserve this that he could tell. He was curious what would cause this and wanted to help at lease one person be happy or at least not prolong a lie.

When she smiled he offered a smile back. "I've known you a long time, Rose. And while we all have our... secrets... I feel like I know you well enough that I don't think anything could explain this. None of this is your fault. If he does blame you, that still doesn't mean it is your fault. It just means perhaps he wasn't the one after all. And if that's true... I am sorry. We will cross that bridge when we get to it."
