After three years in prison, Rose Bennett went from the most radiant red rose in Riverside City to the most agreeable Mrs. Ford. She no longer tore through the city over a hint of unfamiliar perfume on Nathan Ford. She no longer showed up hysterically demanding answers when he didn't come home all night. Most recently, she saw intimate photos of Nathan and that woman trending on Twitter. The housekeeper asked what to do, and she said, "It's nothing." Then she turned back to pruning the thorny roses by the window. She had become a different person, swallowing everything in silence, whether it was Violet Summer's existence or the fact that Nathan had pushed her to take the fall and go to prison to protect Violet. About half an hour later, Nathan came home. He stood at the door, frowning slightly. His gaze fell on her noticeably thinner figure, and his expression darkened.
