"I--I don't know why I did that! It was stupid and impulsive, and I'm sorry, Rosie! I really am!" He reached out to take her hands, then hesitated, unsure of whether or not he was allowed to touch her.

Oh, he wasn't. She crossed her arms tightly over her chest, staring at a point just over his shoulder.

He sighed, wiping a hand over his face. "Rosie, baby, please. I--I don't expect ya to just forget it or pretend like it didn't happen. Ya got every right to be mad at me...but ya gotta believe that it meant nothing! YOU mean something!"

She let out a sigh, though not a heavy, dejected one. "Well, then, you'll just have to prove it."

"Anything, Rosie. I'll do anything ya want me to." He stepped forward, taking her hands in his. His voice was soft. "I'm sorry, baby. I can't even tell ya how sorry I am."

She took her hands away and started walking back into Irving Hall. She didn't want to deal with him now.

Moonshine grabbed her arm, gently, but firmly. "Rosie, please. Baby, just tell me what you want me to do, just don't--" He took a breath, meeting her eyes. "Don't leave me like this, Rose..."

"What am I supposed to do, Tyler? Tell you it's okay? Tell you I'll forgive you eventually? I don't know if I can tell you that," she told him, her voice low and almost menacing.

He froze, staring down at her. He swallowed -- more like gulped -- and licked his lips. "I--please forgive me, Rose. I--it was the dumbest thing I've ever done, and I don't want to lose you. I can't lose you..."

"You should've thought of that before you did it. But obviously you weren't thinking. Well, not with your brain, at least." She felt a small lump starting to form in her throat, but she swallowed it, refusing to cry in front of him again.

That made him wince. "How can I fix this, Rose? Please, let me fix this."

She let out a humorless laugh. "You got yourself into this, you get yourself out."

Oh, Jesus. He was going to screw this up, he just knew it. He carefully put his hands on her arms, holding her gently. "I swear I'll make this up to you, Rosie."

"Right. Well, we'll see about that." She still refused to look into his eyes. She knew she would start crying if she did, and she absolutely did not want to do that. "Can I go back inside now?"

"Just...let me hold ya a minute, Rosie? Please?" He felt like he might completely break down if he wasn't able to.
