Intermission - Day in the life of *Rose* (2)

Before Rose fell to the ground, she was able to grab the desk and stabilize herself.

But it was as fact that her legs gave out from under her which made Belle immediately go forward as if she wanted to support her.

Only she didn't get to touch Rose as Rose dodged out of the way of Belle's hands.

There was a hurt look that appeared on Belle's face when she saw this, but that look quickly disappeared as she said, "Miss Rose, you have to rest! You can't keep going like this, you'll collapse at this rate!"

Rose revealed a bitter smile when she heard this, but she didn't refuse as she reached her hand out towards Belle.

Belle was surprised at first, but then she quickly understood what Rose was asking her for and her eyes lit up.

She went forward to take Rose's hand and helped her over to the chair.

Though she held Rose's hand, she was also careful not to touch Rose's body since that was what had made her dodge earlier.
