1 Month Later
Howard knocked on the bedroom door. He hadn't been in there for a month, as Vince had the door locked.
"Vince?"
"Read the sign." Came the disgruntled reply.
Howard looked at the door. Vince had carved "GeT StuFFeD!" into the door in spiky letters.
"Vince, how are you getting food and water?" Howard shouted through the door.
"I'm not. I'm starving myself to death. Now GET STUFFED!"
Inside the room, Vince had spent the last month looking at the burgundy rose, dressed in black and red. In reality, he was not starving himself. Rosalie's crows were bringing him food and drink. With no one else to come to, they came to Vince. They were also providing him with company so he didn't go mad.
Howard was having to sleep on the sofa since Vince had entered his 'mourning period', and he was worried about Vince's health, physically and mentally.
Howard was trying to put Vince's wellbeing before his feelings for Vince, but it was hard. Howard decided to 'grin and bear it'.
