Rose slowly fell asleep, dreaming of Caden being dragged unconsciously away from Rose as she was restrained and screaming at her captors. She woke up, chest heaving and wishing Caden was there for her sake. She hoped he wasn't having nightmares without her there for him. She got up, refusing to fall asleep, and walked to the balcony

Caden's alarm blared as he woke up.He smacked the alarm quiet and groaned,thinking of the long day ahead of him.He hauled himself out of bed and got dressed in a creame suit.Caden grabbed his breifcase and headed out.

Rose stayed at the balcony as the sun rose, announcing the new day. She sighed and walked to grab her phone she unlocked it with a smile and texted Caden.

Caden texted and took a seat in the room,waiting for the meeting to start.He sighed and opened the breifcase,seeing his invention made him swell with pride.

She shut off her phone and walked downstairs, grabbed a redbull, and sat on the couch. She stayed there for around an hour, sipping on redbull and flipping through Tiktoks. She sighed and got up, shutting off her phone. She walked upstairs and grabbed a volleyball out of her old duffel. She put her phone in her pocket and went to the backyard before practicing setting and passing the ball against the wall

Once the grueling meeting was over,he walked downstairs and ate breakfast,cracking open a redbull as well.

(Sure. Luke is gonna find her as he's landing or smth?)

Rose grew tired and went to put the volleyball away

Caden rushed through the airport,cursing under his breath why so many people existed. "Now boarding group number one for flight AA 827" Shit.Gonna miss it!That's my group! Caden thought,now sprinting.He barely made it as he scanned the boarding pass,taking his seat in first class.

Rose scrolled through Tiktoks until she heard a knock on the door. That's not normal. Nobody was coming I thought? She thought, freezing in place for a moment as the doorbell rang and she quickly opened her texting app.

She sent the text and silently darted upstairs and grabbed a pistol from her bedside drawer and checked the magazine. Full. She nodded to herself, focusing on breathing. She peeked out the window and recognized the car. "Fuck." She muttered, seeing it was her brother's car. She took a deep breath and stayed where she was as Luke continued to ring the doorbell and knock

Caden sighed in slight fear as he waited for the dots to appear.His head quaked,wondering,was Luke back?Was the gang back?And now,Rose was alone,he was on a plane,and somebody had knocked?This,this could be the start of a crazy train.
