Life in Storybrooke hadn’t been great to Rose lately. Being here had been weird, right from the beginning, finding out that people were from after her and knew things about the future that she didn’t. Rose didn’t want to really know those things. She hadn’t even talked that much with Sydney while she’d been here and she’d told Lissa she didn’t really want to know about the future. She’d known that Adrian was here, too, before, but their paths hadn’t crossed and she assumed he was still mad at her. She couldn’t blame him for that. She’d been pretty horrible to him, the way she’d treated him. She knew she should apologize and try to fix things between them, but he’d been gone before she could work up the courage to do it. Rose wasn’t great at admitting she was wrong. And now Lissa was gone, too. Rose didn’t know how she was still functioning, actually. She missed Lissa. She worried about her constantly. She was desperate to get home to her best friend, but it didn’t seem like that was likely to happen anytime soon. She tried to fill her time and keep busy, but it was crazy how much she missed that connection. The bond told her, somehow, that Lissa was alive somewhere, but it was the barest sense and it was like missing a part of her own soul. Which was probably why Rose was out for a walk at the moment, trying to clear her head. That, and she was hungry, so she was heading towards Granny’s. Those plans changed as soon as she spotted a familiar figure just ahead. “Adrian?” she questioned quietly. Maybe she was talking to the air, because she hadn’t said it loud enough for him to hear her, even with superior vampire hearing. She saw him notice her anyway, though, and in the next instant Rose was rushing toward him. Before she could even think about what she was doing - which was honestly nothing new for her, anyway - Rose was flinging her arms around him and hugging him tightly. She hadn’t realized until that moment just how much she’d missed him. She’d felt the regret over her actions, over the way she’d treated him when he’d only wanted to help both her and Lissa, but in that moment, she forgot all about how he was probably mad at her. She forgot that hugging her was probably the last thing she wanted. Somehow, Adrian had gone past being the nuisance who followed her around and constantly hit on her. He’d grown into a friend and, especially now when she’d just lost everyone, she was ridiculously happy to see him. |
