The movie playing in the background is a classic, no doubt about it. I mean we could argue about the dynamics (like wouldn't you technically be always feeding a gremlin after midnight?), but I'm 100% sure Rose would beat you up if you tried.

Where is she anyway?

She promised to be back by midnight and made mepromise not to stay up and wait. It was 2:20 in the morning and I'm not "staying up and waiting."Technically I'm just up late watching a movie while seeing that she gets back safely. It's not staying up late and waiting. Not really. Just coincidences that defy what she said and make me a good person.

I look at my phone again. 2:21.

Suddenly the door swings open and a sniffling Rose enters. Immediately, I'm by her side. Rose never cries. Never.

"Lissa!" she sniffles. "I'm so screwed! I lost my purse! It has everything I need in it!"

I hug her but I feel laughter bubbling in my chest. I try to hide it, but the traitorous laughter escapes.

"Um, Rose? I'm not sure how to say this but see...the thing is-" I chuckle again, interrupting what I was trying to say.

"Lissa, just spit it out!"

"Well isn't someone impatient today? Maybe I shouldn't help you because of your-"

"No!" Rose interrupts and looks at me with big glossy eyes. "Please help me! I'm just stressed, okay? Now what is it that I need to know?"

"You didn't take a purse." I say laughing.

Rose looks at me blankly and then her face lights up in recognition. "How did I forget it? Did I purposely leave it at home?"

I shrug. "Rose Hathaway, I have no clue. You are the only one that can answer that question."

"Good point."
