Rosa's heart was hammering in her chest, her pace quick as she made her way towards the church.
She was holding a talk with the Guard, which was Glenn's idea. After sharing with her that Jason and Clark were planning to break way from Allie, Rosa decided that it would be a good idea to try and get the Guard on her side.
Gordie had informed her that, from the quick poll they took when people were leaving the debate, the election was going in Lexie's favour. Rosa was certain that Campbell wouldn't bow out, knowing he must have something up his sleeve. Allie, on the other hand, had already accepted that she wasn't going to win, meaning it was up to Rosa to initiate their plan.
"Hey."
Rosa snapped her attention to her left, catching sight of Harry heading down the steps towards her. "Oh, hey," she greeted, slowing to a stop. Her pulse continued racing, sending her mind a little dizzy, having not prepared herself to see Harry already. "Uh, you did good today."
"Thanks," Harry replied, shoving his hands in his pockets as he moved closer towards her. "Not sure it was enough."
"Yeah, I don't think anybody was expecting Lexie to turn up."
"Yeah." Harry struggled to meet her eyes, glancing around their surroundings sheepishly. Rosa looked down at the ground for a moment, feeling awkward as she recalled the way their previous conversation had been left.
Rosa had pushed away any betrayal she felt from his decision to side with Campbell over her, knowing it wasn't entirely Harry's fault that Campbell had been able to manipulate him. She couldn't deny the fact, though, that Harry did want power, he had done since the beginning, and she knew she still had to be wary of him.
"Look, I'm, uh, I'm really sorry about yesterday."
"It's fine–"
"No, no, it's not." Harry shook his head. "You were looking out for me, and I appreciate that."
Rosa lifted her gaze to meet his eyes, surprised by the sincerity they held. "I'm glad you're feeling better, Harry," she settled on, meaning her words genuinely.
"Are you heading over to Allie's?" He asked.
"No," Rosa answered. "Allie and I...we had a disagreement, sort of."
Harry could not hide the interest on his expression, and Rosa noticed, deciding to play on it further. She didn't particularly enjoy using Harry this way, but she had to gain his trust again.
"Oh."
"Yeah, things are kinda falling apart," Rosa said. "I've realised a lot of things. I think the Guard have too. We're holding a sort of meeting."
