Stepping off the plane with bags in hand, Rosalie was finally home. She didn't live with her mother as a child , instead she lived with her grandmother. Young Rosalie was indeed a trouble maker , including with the boys she hung out with. Rosalie also had a older sister , but she didn't live with them. In fact Rosalie hasn't seen Lizzy since the accident.

As Rose calls for an Uber , she sees a bench near her a sits on it in front of the airport waiting for her Uber. A man decides to sit by her on the bench she had seated herself at.
