Her arms folded across her chest as she nodded once. The momentary distraction was quickly fading and the heaviness of her broken heart was already resettling within her mind. Go! Rosalie's thoughts screamed, though she willed herself to remain still through these goodbyes. Their hour was almost up anyway, his client due in any minute. She couldn't have stayed even if she felt inclined to.

She thought to establish some boundaries, to request that he only ever use her full name instead of any nicknames he might derive from Rosalie, but the words felt too thick in her throat. They would have to wait until next time, too.

"I'll tell you when I need space." She said bravely instead, taking a step forward to lightly peck him farewell. "Until next time, Mr. Greengrass."
