Sabrina lets Rosie take her hand, squeezes it and laces their fingers. Even if she's not sure what she wants here, not just yet-- or rather, how she wants and when she wants-- she's sure of them, of their connection.
How can't she be, when Rosie smiles like that? Sabrina answers with her own slow, incredibly fond smile, going to sit with her. "Of course, because it's you. You're--" She bites her lip. "You're you. And if I've learned anything, it's that there's so much more room in a heart than I'd thought. I was so amazed, when Charlie-- that he could want me to be happy so much, and I remember thinking I didn't know if I would be able to do that, if it were me."
She's watching their hands, and then peers up again, head still slightly bowed. "I love him so much for that. And I love Nick so much, and I know that he and I will still be who we are together, just like I am with Charlie. And I love you so much too, and I want-- I want for you and Nick to be as happy as you can be." She can't quite suppress the quirk of her mouth. "It wouldn't work if you weren't our Rosie."
