"Exactly," Rosie says. It's a relief to know she's made that much clear, at least, despite her earlier upset. "I need to feel like whatever Sabrina and I are to each other is just as important as she and Charlie are to each other, as a couple. And honestly, even though it's a different kind of love, a different definition, my friendship with Charlie also means just as much."

She takes another sip of her tea. It's not as good now, lukewarm as it is, but there's not much left anyway. "I think it's important all three of us are getting the things that make us happy out of...whatever happens to us now. What we become without Nick."
