Rose sat on the train, she was sad to leave her hometown that she had known her whole life but she was excited for the new journey ahead.

She had gotten a teaching job as a professor at White Mountain College and this was an opportunity that she couldn't pass on.

Luckily her mom had arranged for her to stay at her friend's place that she had known for a long time. She looked out and in the scenery.

Rose finally arrived and she got out of the train and made her way to the cabs, she had told her mom that is the least she could do, they didn't need to fetch her as they were giving her a place to stay for free.

She had only one back that she climbed in with, she gave the cab driver the address of the place that she was going to and leaned back.

When they got to the destination, Rose paid and was so surprised at how huge the place was, they were definitely loaded. Not what she was used to, she walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened and Rose saw before her a young man, he had black wavy hair and such green eyes. He tilted his head, "Are you the new tenant my mom was talking about?"

"Yes, I'm Ms. Hyland." She held out her free hand,

"I'm Ryder." He took her hand and instead of shaking it, he kissed it.

Rose drew her hand back, "Is your mom here?"

"No she went on a business trip but I will show you your room just as she instructed," said Ryder as he stood aside and she walked in.

They went upstairs and he showed her the room she would be staying in. Rose couldn't believe it, it looked like a hotel suite.

"Put your bags down and let me give you a quick house tour," said Ryder taking her out of her thoughts.

"Sure." Rose placed her bag down and followed Ryland who showed her the whole place, he did it very quickly.

"Anything else?" Ryder asked.

"Nope, thank you for the tour."

"No problem, if you need anything, let me know. But for now, I'm off and will be back very late. Pass me your phone."

Rose took out her phone and handed it to him, she saw him punching in some numbers, "I put in my number in case you need anything, you can call me."

"Okay thank you."

Ryder went out and Rose went to her room, she unpacked quickly. When she was done, she went to the bathroom to rinse her face. She looked in the mirror and tied up her red hair that contrasted her dark brown eyes.

When she was done she went downstairs and made some food, when she was done eating she went back to her room to prep for her first day of college.

Nightime hit and Rose saw that Ryder wasn't back but she didn't worry as it wasn't her place to tell him anything. Their house their rules.

By nine, Rose switched off her lights and she climbed into bed and went to sleep.
