As Rose was ushered into the waiting limo, her expression seemed tired and troubled. Max couldn't help but notice the strain etched on her face, even in the midst of her beauty. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that there was more to her story than met the eye.

Her mind was still clouded with the events from the previous day and the incessant presence of the press outside the hospital.Just as Rose was about to ponder further, Prisca, her best friend, walked into the room.
