When Rose got home, she pulled out the letter, it was the deed to the studio and full ownership was given to her, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, she couldn't believe that Dean would give her his studio since she only worked there for a short time, everything was dated they day she left for Pennsylvania. Her phone started ringing, she saw it was Sam; she answered and could tell by his voice that something was wrong. He told her that shortly after she left the hospital that Dean had died, he was only hanging on so he could see her one more time; he knew he wasn't going to make it. Sam told her that Dean had a daughter once but she died at a young age, 16, and Rose reminded him of his daughter.
When she hung up she was in complete shock. She felt utterly drained, she was now the owner of her own self-defense studio and she missed everyone. She called Adrian and told him what happened, he told her how sorry he was and happy that she had her own studio, he told her to go and rest; she has had an exhausting day. When she hung up, she went to her bathroom and took a long hot bath, when she was done she climbed into bed and fell into a dead sleep. When she woke in the morning there was a text from Adrian telling her that he was helping Christian pack, he was leaving to see Tasha in a few days and he would call her later and would have Christian call her as well.
Neither one called her that night but when she fell asleep Adrian brought her into one of his dream walks. He told her it was a very hectic day for Christian and him that's why neither one of them called but she didn't want her think that they forgot about her, hence they dream walk. They talked for only a few minutes, they kissed a little bit longer than normal. When they broke apart, Adrian grinned and said he would speak with her soon.
When Rose woke up in the morning, she couldn't stop thinking about the kiss with Adrian, she knew she had feeling for him but know she had to think how deep those feelings were now and she knew she had feelings for Christian as well, she didn't know what to think, so she went to her kitchen and got some fruit loops and orange juice for breakfast, she then took a shower and dressed nicely for the meet she has with Dean's lawyer. When she left the lawyers office she was now officially the legal owner of Dean's Self Defense. She decided to keep the name of the studio as it was since Dean was a great guy and great boss and be believed in Rose enough to leave his business to her.
Christian called Rose a week after he got to Tasha's in Turkey. He said he was going to stay with her for a few months then he was thinking about coming to Portland to see her, he also told her that he has seen her parents, that they have talked about coming to see her as well. They talked for over an hour, she told him everything that has happened since she got back to Portland and she thinks she falling in love with Adrian. Christian just chuckled and told her he knew she had feelings for Adrian and she was all he and Adrian ever talked about. Christian said that he knew Adrian loved her and that he loved her as well, she wanted to know that they said about her, but he just chuckled and said he couldn't give away bro secrets. He said he would talk to her soon. When she hung up, she was stunned, both have been talking about her and both loved her, like she loved them both.
