     Rose had talked Adam into getting into the car, He wasn't sure what to think about it all. "Rose... You really don't know what you might be getting into..." Rose drove through the snow and clenched the steering wheel slightly harder. " Yes I do.... Atom..." That name shot through his mind like a rocket on steroids. "H-How do y-you know that name....." He said shuddering. Rose sighed, now was the time to let it all out... to stop pretending. "It's your rightfully earned name... at first I wasn't sure.. but your face... I remember your face.. Soft.. Kind... The face your patients looked for... You could cure or help heal anypony... You're a brilliant stallion.. I've l-looked up to you since I was in high school..." Her words moved through his mind and he looked down at his hooves gently rubbing his robotic one. "I'm not a Doctor anymore... Atom was lost years ago when I lost everything else... Times have changed... I became feared.. called Mad... Crazy..." His voice softened and he went quiet looking down at his hooves. Rose pulled into her drive way and set hoof on his looking at him. " Look at me..." Adam turned to meet her gaze, locking eyes with her a faint blush beginning to form on both their faces. Rose continued, "Dr. Atom Estrada... You're not mad... You're an insanely talented stallion who I hate to see has been thrown out! There has to be a reason they turned on you and I intend to help you find out b-because I-", she trailed off blushing more. Adam watched her and slowly moved closer kissing her softly. "Thank you.... It means the world to me knowing someone has my back..." He opened the door and stepped out of the car, "coming...?" Rose shoot from her trance blushing more nodding, "Uh- O-Oh yeah..." She turned off the car and got out shutting her door walking back into the house with Adam.

     Her heart humming with new found feelings for the strange wonderful stallion. She placed a hoof to her lips thinking about the soft kiss, it had feeling... though it was not a long kiss, I meant so much. Adam had made his way to her library and was sitting by a ready made fire reading a book. Rose peered in watching him, he seemed to be deep in thought as his eyes scanned the pages reading each word. It took a moment before she finally stepped in, "A-Adam... d-did you have a wife...? Kids...?" Adam marked his page and finally put his book down. "Yes.... and odd family but one non-the-less... I was married to a spunky Alien named Tak.. we had a son named Chase and He himself had become close with a creation of mine... a young lioness..." He let out a slightly depressed chuckle, "but that was 4 years ago... No doubt they've moved on..." He sighed heavily and looked down for a few moments to only look up seeing Rose had moved much closer. "I know it must be hard... missing your family... b-but... you've always got me now...." She was blushing faintly wanting to hug and kiss him but holding her self back. Adam smiled weakly watching her, "You're truly a gift Rose...."

     Adam had gone back to reading and rose went into the other room leaning against the wall holding her hoof to her heart. It was wrong... having feelings for him, she knew that he still loved his wife... She wanted to be with him...  Adam had fallen asleep with his book held close to his chest and Rose had found her chance. She moved in closer to him and slowly moved her lips to his closing her eyes kissing him softly, she was so enveloped in the moment, she hadn't noticed it had woken Adam up and he was slowly wrapping his arms around her pulling her closer kissing her. They kissed for a couple moments, locked in the bliss of feeling one another's touch. They parted their lips and Adam opened his eyes blushing and smiling warmly. "I can't say I've ever had a mare try to be so sneaky..." Rose's blush deepened, "I-I couldn't help myself.. I-I know you still love and miss your family... I'm s-sorry..." She looked down slightly ashamed. Adam lifted her chin up locking eyes with her once more. "Don't ever be ashamed about having feelings for someone.... If My family can move on.... maybe I can too.. but.. give it a bit of time for us to get to know each other first.." He chuckled and smiled. Rose's heart felt like it was about to burst, This amazing stallion even considering her was such a dream, all she could do was give him a great big hug.
