Rose's POV:

Rose went home and got a shower and wound down from her shift.     She was sitting in her PJ's sipping a glass of wine.    She couldn't get Chase off her mind.   Her dog was sitting there watching her.

"Well Coca, should we take Chase up on his offer?" Rose asks him

"Well Coca, should we take Chase up on his offer?" Rose asks him.

Cocoa barks before jumping up on the couch beside her licking her face.

"I guess that means yes." Rose says laughing.

As soon as Coca stopped licking her face she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Chase's number.

"Hello." Chase answered on the first ring.

"Hey Chase it's Rose." Rose says.

"Hi Rose, calling to take me up on my offer?" Chase asks.

"Yes I am.   I am going to take it." Rose says.

"Good.   I think you will be surprised by how you will fit in." Chase says.  

"Yes I think so too.     Is it okay if I bring my dog?" Rose asks.

"Sure.   What kind is he or she?" Chase asks.

"It's a he.   Cocoa is his name and he is a Doberman." Rose replies.

"Awesome he will fit right in.    I have two Dobbies, Fletcher and Blitz." Chase replies.

"Oh awesome.   Okay where do I need to be?" Rose asks.

"Take a nap I know you worked last night.     Pack and then later on we will pick you up en route to the airfield." Chase says.

"Okay thank you.   I can't wait to get started." Rose says.

"Me too Rose.   I am glad you are taking this leap of faith." Chase replies.

"Me too.   Just hope I land on both feet." Rose says.

They chat a little bit more and the they hung up.     Rose went and packed.     Once she had all she wanted to take with her and had Cocoa's stuff packed as well she hit the mattress in her room and was out for a much needed nap.      Thankfully she did have her phone up loud so she could best when Chase came.

Chase's POV:

Chase had just hung up the phone when his parents and Ryan walked into the room.

"What has such a smile on your face?" Ryan asks.

"Rose just called and agreed to be my personal nurse." Chase says.

"Wait Rose as in your nurse last night?" Ryan asks.

"Uh huh." Chase says nodding his head.

"Damn even laid up in a hospital bed, Chase is making the girls swoon." Ryan replies.

"Speaking of  swooning girls.    Where the hell is Veronica?" Chase asks.

"I have no clue.    She took her stuff and left." Bill says.

"Figures, I can't win right now with this injury so she can I'll disappear until I start winning again." Chase says.

"Well you keep letting her worm her way back into your life knowing how toxic she really is.." Cindy says

"Right buddy just kick her to the curb already.     She's horrible for you and you don't drink poison when your thirsty." Ryan says.

"* I know Ry." Chase says. The girl

That was when the doctor came into the room.   

"Okay what am looking at?" Chase asks.

"You are doing pretty good for being over 24 hours since your surgery." He says.

"That's good right?" Chase asks.

"Yes it's good.     The doctor  says.

"PT will be down here in a bit to work a little with you.    Then once everything is ready to roll we will draw up the paper work." He says.

"When will I be able to get back behind the wheel of the race car?" Chase asks.

"I'm thinking 10 weeks at max.   I mean it will be up to your body and how you heal." The doctor says.

"Okay.   I understand." Chase says. 

The doctor left.    PT came and took Chase to do some basic stuff.    He was able to do everything they asked with no issues.     They also got him help to use the crutches.     He was proud of himself for how he was doing.  

When he got back the doctor had written his paperwork and he was able to head home.    They were going to go to Charlotte and that was where he was going to do his PT.     

"Ready to go?" Bill asks.

"Yes we will have to stop and get the dogs and bags.   Then stop and get Rose." Chase says.

"Okay we will.   You just relax okay." Cindy says.

Chase nods his head.    They got him out to the car.    They then get in.    They stopped and got his stuff and the dogs.    They then stopped and got Rose and her stuff and dog.     They head to the airfield.    They all get on the plane.     Once cleared they take off for Charlotte.

"Okay so where are we going?" Rose asks.

"Charlotte.    I have a condo there." Chase replies.

"Okay.   I will make a list of things we need to get before going there." Rose says.

"Okay.   I have my first PT appointment in the morning." Chase says.

"That's good.   The faster we get you up and moving the better it is for you." Rose says.

"They are saying 10 weeks at least." Chase says.

"Yeah that's normal.   But you listen to your body.    Don't push yourself." Rose says.

"See listen to her.   She is smart." Cindy says.

"I know mom." Chase replies.

" I am glad you came to help him.   I know you took a huge leap quitting your job and taken this one.    Chase don't trust easily so if he trusts you enough to offer this then you are special." Cindy says.

"Aww I do feel special.   I love helping people when they need it the most.   So I will love this job.." Rose says.

Chase was happy and had a good feeling he was in good care.    He don't know what it was about her but he just felt a connection to her. 

They landed In Charlotte and stopped and got the stuff Rose asked for.    They then got to his condo and got him settled.       Rose worked with him to get into a routine.   

That was when he cell phone went off.

"Hello." Chase answers.

"This is the vail police department.    You friend Ryan asked us to look into your accident.   We did.   You didn't fall, you were pushed." They say.

"Wait what?" Chase asks.

"It wasn't an accident, someone tried to kill you." They say.

Chase drops his phone.
