Rowan was beginning to get stir crazy in her hospital room and she was desperate to get out of bed, Eva had informed her that they were able to get into their apartment. But were only permitted to take their belongings but didn't know if they would ever get to move back in. They had helped remove some of her belongings for her and put them into storage for when she was able to find a place. Rowan was hesitant to go anywhere near that place since it had been attacked, her mother had insisted that she come back home and get a job there. She had been firm with her mom that she wasn't going back, that she had made a life for herself and made some good friends. After meeting Leo she had wanted to get to him more, he had visited her several times as she lay in bed healing up. He had even bought a bouquet of sunflowers for her, her favourite, which seemed to cheer up the dreary hospital room.

It had been a week since she had woken up in the hospital, she sat on the bed on top of the covers as she tried her hardest to focus on the tv in front of her but she was already getting bored.

There was a knock on the door, turning her attention away from the TV she found Leo standing in the open doorway staring back at her, she couldn't help but smile when she saw.

'Hey Leo, wasn't expecting to see you today' she tellings him as she tries to sit up on the bed, causing her to grimace as the stitches pulled in her chest 'Fuck'

'Are you ok?'

Leo walks further into the room and stands by her bed as he looks at her, her eyes are closed as she tries to push her mind away from the pain.

'Yeah, I just pulled the stitches, that's all I'm okay' she opens her eyes and looks over at him noticing he had a gym back with him.

'I have some good news for you'

'Oh yeah?'

'I was talking to the nurse out in the hall and she says that you can leave today'

'You're not fucking with me are you?'

'No scouts honour, they are waiting for the doctor to come by to give you the all clear and then you can leave' he answers her.

'That's great, but where am I going to go. Eva and Cali are staying in a hotel at the moment with the money they were left. I have nowhere to go except back home with my mom'

'To Nevada?'

'Yeah, I don't want to intrude on Eva and Cali. They have enough to deal with, with the funeral planning and hunting for an apartment'

'No. I'm not letting you go that easily'

'Leo…'

'You are crashing with me until you find a new place' he tells her firmly.

'Leo I can't'

'Why not?'

'I don't want to intrude on your personal space'

'You're not going to' he tells her as he takes a seat by the bed, he holds her hand in his 'I don't want you to have to go back to Nevada, you might decide to stay there. Please you can crash at my place'

Rowan thinks to herself for a moment trying to think of a way to say no, but she didn't want to go so soon either. He saved her life and she saved his, she really wanted to give it a shot and knew if she did go back to Nevada then she may never have this chance again.

'Okay'

'Okay? You sure?'

'Yeah, no funny business' she tells him with a smirk.

'I swear, you can take the bed, I can't crash on the couch'

'I won't kick you out of your own bed, I'm happy to sleep on the sofa'

'Rowan you are healing, you can't sleep on the couch. You are having the bed, no arguments' Leo informs her as he smiles back at her.

'Sure, okay. But I promise I will be out of your hair as soon as I can find a new place, hopefully I have my old job waiting for me when I get better'

'Just heal up, get better. Don't worry about finding an apartment, you can stay as long as you need to'

'Thanks Leo, I really appreciate it'

'Don't mention it'
