chapter 24:
"I trust you el. don't make her feel hesitant or worried about anything as I know she will" says adam, sipping on his iced-water.
"don't worry, adam." she takes the credit card from adam's hand.
"we'll do it this soon?" asked adam when she told him, "what about february 2nd?"
adam was surprised. shocked. he thought rose was crazy.
"which is in 10 days, ro. it's the 24th today."
and rose wanted it more than anything.
"we do everything together, anyway, don't we? I don't see why wait."
adam had his bottom lip tucked under his teeth.
"you don't want that, baby?" she grabbed his hand.
"I want it more than anything. I want it the most."
he allowed her to hold his hand and looked at her as if she's the sun.
"then?" she rubbed his jawline with her cold fingers.
"sorry" mumbled rose after he scrunched his nose at the touch of her cold hands.
"february 2nd then." he kissed her fingertips.
"we're crazy. we've known each other for just 5 months" uttered rose before tucking her head in his neck.
"thank you. I will have my fiancé and friend pass by in an hour" speaks adam through the phone.
eliana looks at her watch. "is rose still with her dad?" she asks, before sitting down.
before adam can answer, finn enters. "ah baby, you're here. rose is asking about you."
"did I take long?" she mumbles to everyone.
"you can take as long as you need, love" adam assures her, standing close to her and pressing kisses on her hair.
"I asked for an appointment for the both of you" adam speaks.
"to pick my wedding dress?" rose nearly screams.
"yes, sweet girl" adam responds.
"thank you baby." she throws her arms around his neck and hears him laugh.
"you won't come, right?" she pouts.
"no way! you want me to come?" he plays with her, while playing with a strand of hair that has fallen from her bun.
"I do, but you know we can't." she giggles.
"then why give me hope?" he tucks the strand back behind her ear.
"as if you can leave work and come with us. you can't do that. one of us has to work" utters rose.
"you're still sad about that? what did I tell you?" adam still finds rose thinking about what happened last week.
"the problem ought to leave with where it took place" she repeats his words.
"that's right, my love."
she stands in front of him with her hand linked to his and his arm leaning on top of her head on the wall.
"no more thinking about it. go and pick the most beautiful dress you can find, okay?" she nods, sweetly.
"i want to sign rose up for driving lessons" says adam once it's just him and finn in his room.
"why? she doesn't have one?" asks finn.
