(Her friend. She's here. Rose's heart freezes, skipping what feels like several beats, and then quick-starts right back into place, pounding. )
She's here, ( she breathes the words out soft and fast, like an exhale of breath. Some part of her knew she had to be, had to hold onto that hope, but.... it was never guaranteed, and there was always a possibility it wasn't true. She would have spent every hour of every day searching to make sure for herself, and so to hear it confirmed here and now... Rose swallows, eyes wide and wet. Her hands tremble a little as she grips the arms of the seat she's in, and pushes herself to stand again. )
I haven't. I haven't seen her. Is she.... She's okay? She's safe?
