Caden waited until he heard the door shut for his face to go to tired again.A frown on his face from tiredness,groaning lightly everytime he shifted.

Rose kept hitting the ball over and over until her arm became nearly numb. She put the ball into her car, slammed the door, and walked inside. She went up to the bedroom, going to the balcony like she used to in the old house

Caden shifted the second he heard the door shut and propped himself back into the oh-im-not-tired-your-lying look.He smiled at Rose but cursed under his breath and followed he out to the balcony.Caden put a hand on her back and the other on the railing. "Whatya thinking about?"

Rose jumped slightly at his touch, not expecting it with how her thoughts were going. "Uh, just life." She said quietly, not looking at him. "The past and what i'm going to do for a future"

"Life's nice to think about.You get lost in thinking about failures,then mistakes,then crashes,but then you barely ever think of your success,fame,re-bounds,all of the glory.You never think about it,all that most people think of is their mistakes and mishaps,never of the hall of fame they have put themselves in.It's just......human."

"You have a hall of fame and are known. I'm not. I don't know if anyone would care about me if we weren't engaged." She said quietly

Caden looked down and stayed quiet for a moment,slipping his hand off her back. "I'd care for you." He said after a long moment,gazing into the stars.

Rose didn't respond, not trying to be a bitch but also having her mind spiral unhealthily

Caden let the tension linger,shifting his gaze elseware as his thougths scattered. "You alright?The truth this time,Rose." He says softly,not a command but a close enough.
