There's a tiny part of her that uncharitably wonders why she's spent so many long hours of magic study for the object of her affections to slip through her fingers. But it is Cecil and he's amazing. Naturally he's found someone wonderful and she wants his happiness above everything else.]
She sounds lovely, Cecil. They both do. I'm so happy for you.
[That's subdued, even for quiet Rosa. Her head drops again but it's so she can hide that she can't stop her bottom lip from quivering now. Give her a moment and she'll be poised and not so teary again.]
