Forced Vows, Hidden Shadows

 Rosaline's car drove into the compound, and she jumped out, an angry look on her face. She rushed over to me, throwing her arms around me in a tight hug. 


 "I'm so glad to see you’re not hurt!" she exclaimed, her voice warm and enthusiastic. I hugged her back, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity in her embrace. We stood there for a moment, enjoying the warmth of each other's company. 


 As we pulled back, I couldn't help but notice the concerned look in her eyes. “Rose?" I asked, my voice low. 


 Rosaline hesitated, glancing around nervously before focusing back on me. "Aria, why the fuck are you back here?," she said, her smile faltering for a moment before she recovered. "You promised never to come back to him, but you’re here again happy with him?" 


 I looked at Rosaline, my eyes locked onto hers. "Rose, I can explain," I said, my voice firm but gentle. "Let’s go inside and talk, okay?"
