"There's no need anymore anyways... Um, I was just checking in, saying hi. I'm probably interrupting something so I'll leave you alone"
|

|
The sound of a door echoed in the background, and the sound of a woman's and kid's voice. "Yeah, bye." He said, tone a bit sad as he hung up.
|
|  |
|
|

|
Rose sighed when he hung up, the woman and kid's voice resonating in her ears while she made a small, single serve dinner
|
|  |
|
|

|
He went and greeted Valeri and Enzo, the kid not his.

Rose ate and went to bed, unable to sleep. She got up with the sun, getting gold dressed for work. She didn't rake days off and dreaded the holidays the shop was closed because she didn't have anything to do. She sighed, slipping on her shoes and heading to work

|
Caden was already up before the sun was, a bottle of Scotch in his hand.
|
|  |
|
|

|
Rose continued her pattern for weeks, not bothering Caden in case he got upset at her
|
|  |
|
|

|
Valeri went back to her ex, mainly for Enzo. Caden found himself alone, having antidepressents yet most days he didn't take them.
|

|

|
Rose was half drunk one night and called him. "Hey"
|
|  |
|
|

|
"Yeah," He said gruffly, voice breaking.
