"No, you know me for who I am. Not them, whoever they are. They'll fall in love with who they think I am. But they won't really know me. And it doesn't matter anyways. Because I love you." She held her breath as she waited for his reaction.

He stared at her a long time after she said that, his chest constricting. He breathed out, "D'ya--d'ya mean that, Rosie..?"

She nodded, unable to say anything at the moment. She clutched the blanket tighter to her chest, for it felt like her pounding heart was going to rip through it.

He let out a breath. "Oh, Rosie...Rosie, baby, come 'ere." He gathered her against him, burying his face in her hair.

She clung to him, eyes open as she pressed her cheek against his shoulder. Now she was nervous that he didn't feel the same.

He held her, rubbing her back, finally whispering into her hair. "I love ya, too, Rosie."

A sigh of relief escaped her lips. She pulled back to look at him, her eyes serious. "I will come here to be with you whenever I can. And maybe you could come to Nashville, too. Meet my family...realize how awesome it is there?"

He nodded, holding her. "Whatever it takes, Rosie. Whatever it takes."

She settled back into his arms, closing her eyes and never wanting to leave that spot.
But she had to. She didn't cry when she left him that night, but she figured she would tomorrow morning. Rose called him at 7am, before they were set to leave.

He answered right away. He was asleep. He hadn't really slept at all that night. "Hey, Sugar."

"Hey," she replied, her smile evident in her voice. "Can I come over?" The unspoken ending to her sentence was 'to say good-bye.'
((sorry I've been MIA all day. I had to go to school to do certification stuff all afternoon. Then I had a headache so I just laid on the couch for a couple hours. Then I read a Christmas romance novel cover to cover lol. Such is my life.))

((Haha, no worries. I apologize in advance if I'm slow -- I have a shit-ton of threads going on  )) He sighed a little, knowing what she meant. "Yeah. Yeah, a' course, baby. Come over." He got out of bed, pulling on a tshirt and jeans. |

"Okay... I'll see ya soon, then." She hung up before she could hear his voice again. Then she made sure everything was packed before heading out. She was at the McGowan residence in a little under half an hour.
((I will just go to bed then!))

((Aw, ok, if you're sure))
He answered the door, everyone still in bed. "Hey, baby." He gave her a small, sad smile.

She tried to smile back, but her efforts were unrewarded. Wordlessly, she stepped up to him and put her arms around his middle.
((yeah I'm just not feeling it tonight :/ Night.))
