Things have changed, some things stay the same.

One thing I know for sure, no matter what, Rose will forever be mine.

In this life and the next.

Even if I break her wish, even if I break her heart.

Some things are hard to let go.

Harder than I anticipated.

And that's okay.

I'll have to keep it hidden, even on her favorite holiday of the year.

I will keep this secret.

Merry 'Black' Christmas.
