Hearing the dejection in Theodore's voice and thinking about Sydney's disappearance, Rosalie decided not to hold it against him for now.

"It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it anymore. Right now, finding your mother is the most important thing. I'll think about it on my end and see if I can come up with any leads. If I do, I'll let you know."
