Rosie's POV:

The door bell rang as I slipped on my vans. I walked to the door and opened it to find a smiling Fionn.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yeah let me just grab my purse." I turned to grab my small crossbody bag that I carried around everywhere.

"You don't need to grab anything I took care of all the stuff." He motioned. I still grabbed my important items though instead of my entire bag. We walked out and I locked the door behind us.

We got into the car and I heard a bark that about scared my pants off. I turned to see a dog with his tongue sticking out and his tail wailing.

"Oh yeah I hope you don't mind but I brought Lewis along."

"Of course I don't mind!" I laughed petting Lewis. We drove about 8 minutes to a park in center London. It was a bit busy but we managed to find a spot on a small hill to set up. He had a cliché picnic basket and blanket which he laid out. We sat down, Lewis as well, and Fionn took out the food.

"So what have you been up to on this lovely break?" He asked me.

"Catching up on some sleep, watching some tv here and there. Just an average life." I chuckled, "What about you?" I was petting Lewis who was laid next to us on the grass.

"Photoshoots for the movie, hanging with the lads. Although it's been a bit hectic at times, it's also been a relaxing one." I nodded to signify that I was listening but I kept my gaze on the precious dog in front of me.

"Seems you care for Lewis more than me huh?" He joked.

"Just a bit." I shrugged, laughing as I looked at the boy.

"I'm hurt." He said putting his hand to his chest. He sat and watched as I played with Lewis. "Do you have any pets of your own?" He asked.

"I have two cats." I responded, "We've been wanting to get a dog but we don't think the cats would get along with it very well since they're grown. They can barely get along with each other." I laughed. After a bit we packed up and took a walk, Fionn holding on to Lewis' leash.

I looked at the trees that covered the psrk. The summer sun shining above us. It was nice out despite the fact that it was the beginning of July, mid summer. Back home it would have been too hot to even get the mail.

"What are your plans for the rest of the break?" I made conversation.

"Probably relax at hone, see old friends and family."

"I wish I could visit my friends and family." I whispered, though it was loud enough for Fionn to hear.

"Feeling homesick lately?"

"A bit." I shrugged, "But I wouldn't trade this opportunity for anything."

"I'm glad you've enjoyed your time here, even though I probably ruined it a bit of times." He mumbled the last part. I looked at him, he was looking at the ground.

"You didn't ruin it." I told him, "yeah sure it sucked at times but life isn't always perfect. If you had ruined it I'd be back home." We looked at each other and smiled.

After walking around for a bit we left the park and he took me home. He pulled up to my building and I got off.

"Thanks for today, I had fun."

"Of course. I'll see you soon, message me if you need anything." I waved goodbye as he drove off.

Once I walked through the door I set down my flat keys and took off my shoes. I decided to catch up on some work and call my mom to catch up. After it began to get pretty late, time flies when you're having fun.

**********

As I was eating breakfast the next day I got a text from Jack.

I have a request and I need ya help

What's up? I responded.

I want to take Izzy out on a proper date, but I'm not sure if she likes fancy dinners. Could you help me?

I thought about it for a second then sent a response.

You're a great guy so I'm sure she'd enjoy anything if she's with you.

He thanked me and I continued my breakfast. Finally Jack was going to ask out Izzy, they were honestly the cutest even if they weren't officially together.

I spent the day cleaning and organizing a few things. I had also packed a bit and done laundry since tomorrow was the last day of the break and we'd be heading back to Dunkirk. I missed work a bit to be honest. I mean, it is what I came here to do.

My phone rang from the table and I picked up to see who it was. Izzy.

"Hello?" I answered.

"ROSIE JACK FINALLY ASKED ME ON A DATE!" She screamed.

"I told you it would happen!" I laughed, "Tell me everything." Izzy then proceeded to tell me when her date was, but she didn't know where she was going, it was a surprise.

"He told me to dress semi-fancy though, would you be willing to help me get ready?"

"Absolutely."
