They’ve always shared mutual friends but never really noticed one another. One day they were at a friends house party and John told Rose " If you give me the chance, you'll love me." Rose declined his player script . Fast forward to a year later. They were both on Twitter sub-tweeting one another. Eventually, Rose direct messaged John and asked for his number. They spent the entire night on the phone. The call ended that following morning right before Rose's lecture class started. During that time, John was still living in California and Rose was living in Bloomington, Illinois. He'd come to Chicago or she'd fly to California to visit. Eventually, John made the decision to move back to Chicago. With the move came a more serious relationship. The two moved in together and have grown with one another ever since.
