"Your friends left"

I informed her

As she slumped against my shoulder

Like she was about to fall asleep.

"Thanks"

She murmured

As her hair fell in her face.

I waited for her to say more

But she remained silent.

"Now what?"

I asked curiously

Wondering if she had a plan

On what to do.

"Come back to my place?"

She slurred

Sliding her hands up my chest.

"I don't know

If that's such a good idea."

"You're right

It's a great idea."

She stood up suddenly

Stumbling a bit before

Regaining her balance

And taking my hand

To haul me up with her.

"Rosalie

That's not what I meant."

"How did you know

That my name is Rosalie?"

I laughed humorlessly.

"Your friend shouted it

From across the bar."

"Damn her.

Just call me Rose."

I nodded

As she guided me

Through the crowd

Leading me to the unknown

As I left my worries behind me.

"Rose."
