He stated while sitting down, totally looking away from her. "What are you doing here in my room?" She shrugged, then proceeded to sit beside him with a happy smile. "I was waiting for you to come home. I guess you must have seen her since you didn't come or call all day. I was only worried." She told him. However, he found it hard to believe that she would actually worry about him looking for Rose. He would have suspected her if Rose didn't send that video. He still doesn't want to talk to anyone.

It was a moment of joy and sadness for the family. Rose stared at her family waving at her at the distance but she didn't move. They stopped waving, seeing how she wasn't reacting at all. "Are you sure that our daughter? She keeps looking at us like we are crazy." Collins asked, still staring at Rose. "That's my sister! I can recognize her even if it's five years!" Aileen argued. Esther nodded, "It is her. Maybe she just wants to watch us. She probably wants nothing to do with us anymore. I can understand that. It's all my fault."
