Re: Rowan & Allison H. (post-show)
Rowan could understand them thinking badly about her if she did to Five what she had done to Brandon. Even though Rowan felt guilty about that and always would, she thought at the time it was the best move to protect her friends and herself. Not realizing the person they needed protection from was the one who had been helping her put the plan into motion. Even if she wanted to take it back, she knew she would never be able to and would have to live with it. The part that hurt was how she might never get to apologize to Brandon for the choice that she made, even with her feeling that it was the right call at that time.
"Yes, I do know and I love it," she admitted with a smile. Rowan’s family was complicated, so she welcomed the weird, and it was always a good time with Allison and her family. Honestly, she wanted to meet their father so she could give him a piece of her mind for how he treated them. Rowan thought highly of the ones she knew and thought it was wrong how their father treated them. Made her thankful for her father, who dealt with her and how difficult she could be sometimes.
She shook her head no rather quickly when asked about asking him out. "No! My track record with guys liking me or I liked hasn’t exactly been great, and he could do much better than me. Also, what if I’m all wrong once again and he turns out not to be such a great guy?" Rowan didn’t think it was the case, but too many people had slipped under her radar, and she was terrified of her track record continuing. "But nope, this is not the place for this talk, and this is your night! Maybe tomorrow night over dinner." Changing the topic rather quickly, wanting to focus back on Allison, and hoping by tomorrow night it would be a forgotten topic. "Which I probably should let you get ready for your next show and I saw your boyfriend here, who probably wants to compliment you and tell you how beautiful you looked," Rowan teased, saying boyfriend in a sing-songy type voice with a shoulder wiggle. She liked Mitch and she was happy for Allison, but that didn't mean she couldn't do a little teasing.
