Caroline's eyes were rimmed with red, tears streaming down her face.
"How can someone's heart change so fast?"
"Caroline..."
Gilbert frowned as he watched her, caught in a tough spot, "You know, before you went to Switzerland, my brother really wasn't interested in Rebecca White."
His brother had always been disciplined and rational when it came to emotions.
In his view, his brother dealt with relationships in a very black-and-white manner - what should and shouldn't be done.
Gilbert continued, "Even now, I believe my brother's involvement with Rebecca White is out of a sense of duty and guilt. He sees taking care of Rebecca White as his responsibility."
Caroline let out a hollow laugh, lost in thought for a few seconds, "He said the same thing. So, it was me... I pushed him away..."
She closed her eyes tightly, and tears fell.
Bowing her head, she rested her forehead on Gilbert's shoulder.
Gilbert froze, unsure of what to do or say next.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up to see Sherilyn coming out.
"Sherilyn..."
He started to speak, but his phone rang in his pocket.
"Caroline." Gilbert took a step back to answer his phone, distancing himself from Caroline. "It's Grandma's call."
He swiped the screen to answer, "Hello, Grandma..."
It was Sylvia, wondering where they all were.
"What's going on? Your brother hasn't come home, and neither have you."
"Grandma, we're on our way back now... Yes, with my brother."
Sherilyn had already moved towards the door. Gilbert quickly hung up and followed her.
"Grandma, gotta go!"
"Sherilyn!"
Putting away his phone, Gilbert caught up with Sherilyn. "You're heading back, aren't you? Let me give you a lift!"
Tonight was Valentine's Day, and she definitely wanted to get back to Jenna.
"No need."
Sherilyn shook her head, refusing.
