After having left XHW to deal with a few things at home Rose had found herself back again after realizing that she had missed a certain someone in her life. She decided to wait until after the draft and the dust had settled to make way to Stomping Grounds to search for Vincent. So there she was looking for him but with no luck, so she decided to ask a few people and it turned out he had already left for the evening so Rose left the building and started toward a bar, there she takes a sit and orders a drink before pulling out her phone. She scrolls through her contacts and finds Vincent's name and hits "call". After a few rings he answers. Rose I came to Stomping Grounds to find you but I was a little to late. Can we meet up?After he tells her a little later and where to meet she decides to have a couple more drinks. Once it's time to go she walks to where he decided and she waits. When she sees him walking toward her she moved her hair off her shoulder and closed the gap between them meeting him in the center of the room. Rose Hey handsome. Man I'm glad to see you.

Vincent Hubbard: I'm glad to see you too. A little annoyed but that'll pass.
He says with a tiny smile.

Rose Annoyed? I hope not at me. If you are then I'm sorry. We have already discussed this, not in person but yeah. I made a mistake and all I can do now is attempt move forward.
She smiles.
Rose I didn't plan on coming back, I was leaving and never speaking to anyone here again but when you reached out to me I couldn't stop myself. I dont know whay it is about you.

Vincent Hubbard: It's totally cologne. Paul Sebastian, the only scent I wear.
He's waiting for that endorsement money.

She took it as an invite to move closer to him to get a smell of his cologne. There she lays her head on his shoulder.
Rose The cologne is nice but I think it's just you.
She sits there for a moment then raises her head.
Rose So... that stupid romance holiday is coming up soon and I was thinking we should go out for dinner and drinks to celebrate. I can sweeten the deal by bribing you with those little chalky candy hearts or chocolates if that helps.

Vincent Hubbard: You promise not to run out on me this time?
He asks with a raised eyebrow.

Rose I don't know... I may need an incentive to stay. So I'll make that promise when you give me a reason to... sometimes it feels like I'm putting in all the effort to make this work. I get you said you missed me and that's a start, you see it got me here right?
She sits up.
Rose I guess what I'm saying is I'll make that promise... I won't run again... but in return I want to seal the deal with a kiss... or at least a hug... I don't know.

He couldn't help but smile.
Vincent Hubbard: Well, you'd be mostly right. I haven't been trying to make "this" work, to be honest. I haven't really thought about you and me in that sense. Or at least, it wasn't the original reason I approached you. But I guess that doesn't matter anymore, does it?
He shrugs a little bit. He could at least be honest with her, right?
Vincent Hubbard: The point is, we're both here now. So why don't we grab a drink, sit down and talk a little bit, see where things go...

Rose seems a bit defeated but quickly tries to hide it.
Rose Sure, I have no objections to drinks.
[She quickly changes the subject.
Rose The other day I took Penny to a party store because her friend is having a costume birthday party. You'll never guess what she decided to be.
She smiles.
Rose A freaking princess... MY daughter wants to be a princess. Not a vampire or a zombie... a princess. I about lost my mind BUT I helped her pick the prettiest pink... ugh... dress.
She stops.
Rose Is it because I have baggage? Our age difference? Am I ugly or something? Let it go Rose. Drinks... yes... I could use a drink.

Vincent Hubbard: Maybe I just want to give it some time to see if it has a chance to work, before we hop right in the sack.
He smirks, then reaches out and takes her hand.
Vincent Hubbard: C'mon, let's grab a drink and see what happens. I'm buying tonight.
He motions towards the bar.

Rose For the record I never said I wanted to "hop right in the sack"... I don't want an easy lay, if I did then I wouldn't be here right now.
They get their drinks and have a seat.
Rose How about this, why don't you ask me questions about myself and I will give you the honest truth. I want you to get to know me better and I'm not really sure of any other way.

That seemed harmless enough. But then, he knew how easily something "harmless" could turn the other way.
Vincent Hubbard: Alrighty then, first question - and DO NOT get all huffy with me, because I am NOT trying to piss you off or anything like that, okay - the first night that you found me waiting for you in your hotel room, why didn't you freak out?
Considering she has a kid but no mention of the father, I'm just guessing she's had issues with guys before. And one just dick-porting into her hotel room at night, like one of the guys who see assassinating people in old action flicks? One thinks it would be cause for alarm.

Rose There is a handful of reasons. I know that there was cameras in the hallway so if anything happened to me they would have your face on record and I also knew that I was a fighter back in the day so if you tried to touch me I might not have been able to take you down but I'd at least try to scratch or bite so that there was DNA proof you attacked me. Plus anyone who made that much effort to see me must have had a good reason.
She takes a sip then continues.
Rose Besides something told me to trust you.

He takes a sip of his drink then pauses, pulling a curious face.
Vincent Hubbard: So your thoughts went to video evidence if I was a serial rapist, DNA evidence if I was a serial rapist, how much damage you could do to me if I was a serial rapist and how much work I put into getting into your room, while possibly being a serial rapist...but you wanted to trust me anyways?
You're not helping yourself here Vincent, just move along.
Vincent Hubbard: When you sat down in the room with me, what's the first thought that went through your mind? Very first thing that popped in there...

She laughs.
Rose Well...
She takes a drink.
Rose When I entered the room I thought about turning and running out the door. It's not everyday someone you talked to but never actually met breaks in your room and waits on you. But I was also a bit drunk and tired so I knew the sooner I got you out the sooner I could sleep. As far as my first thought of you... you were taller than I imagined you to be.
