[ It's pure relief that washes over Clover when Rose backs down. It's not like she doesn't know they fight or that she hasn't witnessed anything similar before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt every single time. ]
Thank you.
[ She means that from the bottom of her heart. ]
... We came here to do one thing, but I don't think we can do that anymore.
No, probably not. [She knew this would happen. She knew it, she knew it, she always knows it.
There'd be absolutely no joy in her gloating over it, though, and even though Jasmine could have prevented this by telling her sister everything, it really wasn't her place to say anything about Rose's eye.]
This has already been a difficult holiday. For everyone.
[It feels like being defeated; on the other hand, she can't wait to get away after that argument. It feels like the coward's way out, but Clover's already had enough disappointment in her lifetime. She holds the door open for her littler sister on the way out.]
... Rose. We're baking together later. If you want to come over, let me know.
[She's almost certain she'll say no, but maybe by the time the whole family's supposed to get together for the holiday, things will be different.]
[And she's almost positive she won't, but she won't shut it down at least. Mostly for Clover's sake, and who knows? Things could change by then, even if they never do.]
Good night, and take care. [With that, she closes the door with a gentle click.]

[She sighs, running her hand through her hair. It's not like she didn't see this coming, but. But still.]
You two should probably just go home.

She closes her eyes and turns her back on them, trying to shut away how hurt she feel. She's failing. ]
All right. Please take care of yourself, Rose.
[ That's the tone of someone who's given up for the day. ]
