Rose stated which was more like asking, quivering and holding up on her own drenched in the rain."Yes, of course, I have to come after you," a little bit of unease in which Rose found time to turn her back to him, prepping to jump down from the precipice of the roof and into the night sky or so it seemed."You didn't need to run away.
