I throw my hair into a quick ponytail and rush to grab my keys. I had to hurry to the restaurant because apparently, Becca had some news she wants to share. 

Oh, sorry. You are probably wondering what has happened. 

Well not much. After that talk with my grandparents, I haven't seen them since. Things have calmed at the hospital in the last month. I even got to go on a few more dates with Lorenzo and Damien. I have to admit everything has been going pretty smoothly. 

I finally pull into the parking lot of Nina's and rush in. 

"Hey, I am here..."

"Rose!" I hear my sunflower exclaim. 

I look over and smile as I walk over to her. I see Enzo, Dame, and Romeo all here. Confused I look at Becca. 

"Not that I don't sunflower this but why are you three here? I thought it was just us?" I ask kissing her head I sit down in between Dame and Enzo. 

"Reinforcements," She says with a scared look. 

"For what? What happened?" I ask looking her over. 

I don't see anything wrong with her. 

"I asked Rebecca to move in with me," Romeo says grabbing Becca's hand. 

"And I said yes," She says shyly looking down. 

I look between the two before sighing. 

"Sunflower, I need to speak with you alone," I say pushing Dame slightly to get up.

When she looks at me I sigh and give a small smile of reassurance. I head outside and wait for her. I wasn't even outside for a whole minute before she came rushing out. 

"I know it is sudden and I know that you are worried for me. But please don't be mad," She says with tears threatening to fall.

"I am not mad, sunflower. I could never be mad at you. What I want to know is if this is what you truly want?" I ask

"Yes, I know it is sudden but I love him. It is like he fixed me in a way no one else could. He healed me and fixed me in ways even you couldn't do. I found my prince charming," She says with tears flowing down her face. 

I smile wiping her tears. I pull her into a hug not wanting to let go. I knew right then there was nothing I could do to change this. She always wanted her prince charming to save her when she was a little girl. Always talking about how even if she couldn't find him then she would wait for him. Just like that he found her and whisked her away and I couldn't be happier for my sunflower to get her happy ending. 

"I am happy for you, sunflower. I sunflower you. I always will. And if he makes you happy then I will try to tolerate him. But know, you will always have a home with me," I say. 

She pulls me closer and hugs me tight. 

"I rose you, Rose," She says with a giggle.

"I sunflower you, Sunflower,"
