seeing Rosie.

Being the amazing friend she is, Maisie decided that we needed to orchestrate a plan to get Rosie andback

has hurt you and that's why she's pushing you away," Caroline tellsand | shake my head.

"I hate what she's doing to herself," Sabrina murmurs. | hate it too. | hate how her conscience has been

tormenting her. She needs to go easy on herself and if she doesn't know how to do that, I'm going to help her
