June 5th, 2021

It was gloomy outside, rainy, cold, everything to make a day suck.

Rose wanted to go outside so bad, but we couldn't let her out while it was raining so behind all of the rain... she was crying.

"Rose please love, it's raining outside! You can't go out!" You tried to comfort her but she kept crying. Ethan was making her bottle, but god she wouldn't calm down!

"Here." Ethan handed you the bottle and you gave it to rose, she immediately stopped crying and held the bottle as her eyes shut. You looked at Ethan with a 'Really?' Look and he laughed.

She eventually fell asleep and you put her in her crib, dimming the lights and shutting the door, leaving it cracked. You walked back to the living room and sat next to Ethan. Putting your head on his chest.

The rain clicked against the window, you opened your eyes to find you and Ethan in the living room asleep, but Rose was with him. She must've woken up. You checked the time.

8:36

You made rose a bottle and grabbed her diapers, yawning in the process. You grabbed her from rose and woke Ethan up to go lay down. He got up and left.

You changed Rose, which did wake her. But she was still half asleep. You fed her the bottle and rocked her to sleep. You decided she could sleep with you and Ethan since you three were already asleep together. You sat her in the middle and brushed your teeth, and then brushed your hair. You can shower tomorrow.

You laid down, and opened your phone and browsed for a while, it was still raining. You put your phone down and just listened to the way the rain sounded, it was comforting. It reminded you of the time Ethan was almost struck by lightning. The thought made you laugh a little.

You turned your body, you're facing Rose, holding her small hand. Romania is still haunting you, everyday. You can't help but feel apart if it is still out there. You decided it was time to go back.

Of course you'd tell Ethan, ask Chris. Because you know he wouldn't let you go alone. All you needed to know is if Miranda was still alive. I mean.. sure. You saw her crumble, and the village explode, but that didn't stop you from thinking she's still out there. She could be Ethan, Rose anyone.

Or you're just paranoid.
