The door from Milliways opens into the garage, and Rosalie looks to Emmett as they come through the door. She lets out a sigh of relief when she sees him in his normal clothes again.

"Thank god," she says, lightly.

Rosalie is sitting on the edge of her bed, staring at her cell phone.

It reads, "Compose Message" at the top, but the message itself is blank.

She's probably typed and deleted about thirty messages by this point. She doesn't know what she wants to say, but she has to say something.

It's frustrating to her, that she can't keep her mind off of it, that she can't keep her mind off of him. But it's not her fault-- she's reminded of it no matter where she is in the house, no matter who she's talking to. No one seems to be able to let it go. And of course that makes it impossible for her to let it go, to.

(She refuses to believe that she wouldn't be able to otherwise. She'd rather focus on the fact that his absence is making everyone else miserable, and pretend that she couldn't care less.)

It doesn't help, either, that Alice and Jasper are gone. She wants them home, too, but she's not angry with them. Not yet, anyway. Still, their absence makes it that much harder to forget.

Eventually, she types three words:

Come home already.

It's harsh, she knows, and not any more likely to receive a response than any of the other messages she's sent him. But it's how she feels, and she doesn't really care what he thinks.

But she hesitates a moment before hitting the "Send" button...
