Coffee had never tasted so good, granted nothing touched Luke's coffee but after not having any for hours it tasted pretty damn good. 'Okay so Logan and I are on the continent and apparently the same city plus hotel. Well this should go wonderful.' She thought taking another sip of her coffee and walking back towards the desk hoping Finn had managed to figure out what happened.

"Luv! You are just on time, your boss is getting a refund since the front desk lost your reservation I have taken care of everything else" Finn stated smiling and handed her a key.

"Finn you didn't-" She started

"Nonsense since it was our fault and the attendant wanted to give you grief, I will be insulted if you refuse" he interrupted giving her a pointed look.

She held her hands up in defeat shaking her head "alright alright you win I concede" she laughed.

"Good" he said still smiling "I would love to catch up Reporter Girl, when are you free?"

'Same old Finn' She thought 'let's ignore the fact I turned his best friend down' "I have an event tonight, somehow, then tomorrow I am doing an interview with the surfers in the competition thankfully everyone has learned me and sports don't work so they have quit trying to make me surf, then I am going Kite-Boarding which I am looking forward too since it is going to be a first for me, hopefully it goes much better then surfing but I am not expecting much since they are pretty much the same concept just one with waves and the other with wind, so I have to pick up a wet suit because I am not using one that housed someone else body even if it only gets used once. Thursday is still free and I leave Friday morning."

"Still long winded Reporter Girl" Finn laughed "so we can go out Thursday and I can show you around my town?"

Rory smiled, "that sounds fun, here" she grabbed one of the business cards and a pen and wrote her number on the back, "shot me a text to know what time."

"Will do Luv. It was really good to see you again" he said giving her a hug.

"You too Finn" Rory answered sincerely, returning his hug. "I will see you Thursday and thank you for dealing with the reservation issue it means a lot to me."

She then turned and headed out to grab her things from the car once that was done and she was in the safety of the elevator she allowed herself to process what she agreed too. Finn was in town with Colin and Logan and she agreed to let him show her around. 'Five years and I am still not over Logan what the hell is wrong with me.' She thought leaning her head against the wall, it wasn't like she hadn't tried there was a string of guys that all lasted maybe a total of year months before she changed paths. She had met, her boss Andrew on accident during a fundraiser event after the campaign trail was done. Hugo was amazing to work for however do to bad economy he had to let her go, but it was enough time for her to decide it wasn't what she wanted to for the rest of her life even though being a correspondent was something she wanted to do since she was little. Her mom was worried when she started working for Xtreme Wonders but it was fast pace and she was able to do things she never thought she could do before plus she saw many wondrous things for free. It was unlike anything she had ever done before even the LDB events she covered really couldn't come close to the natural high of skydiving or the unadulterated pleasure she got when she was out water skiing or paragliding, but they were dangerous sports one wrong move with any of them could turn that high into a fatal injury. She stepped off once the elevator dinged that she had reached her floor, it wasn't the top floor which maybe there would be less chance of running into Logan. 'In omnia paratus Rory' she thought reaching back and brushing her fingers over the familiar words forever etched into her skin, she went and had the tattoo done about three years ago about the same time she first went skydiving. Then after the bungee jumping off a bridge she went and had a black umbrella done on an angle just below her collar bone, the artist thought it was odd but all Rory would say is that it was personal and the experienced helped her grow.

She had changed in five years after telling Logan she needed more time, and him walking away from her she threw herself into her work. The campaign was exhausting but it had it's good moments too. She worked for Hugo until he couldn't afford her and had to let her go, by the time that happened the job offers she had received dried up as well. Thinking back on it, it was probably the best thing that happened, making several lists she wanted a change of avenue and pace something that could remind her she was honestly alive and not the shell of a person she felt she was after Logan walked away. He probably would not believe she was jumping out of planes, or off bridges hell even actually attempting to surf that had been a painful experiment but she loved water skiing, it made no sense to her. She was glancing at the doors looking for her room number hoping she hadn't walked past it while she was lost in thought when one of the doors opened and a guy walked out nearly running her over.

"Sorry" he said short and curtly before speed walking towards the elevator, while a female like voice was screaming from the room he all about ran from.

"Jerk" she said softly bending over to get her garment bag and purse that had fell from her hands when he hit her. She shook her head and wondered why guys seem to like to barrel her over while they ran from one thing or another, it was how she met one of her ex's he had knocked her over spilling her coffee on her and she landed in a puddle. She had ripped into him right in the middle of a busy intersection in Boston since she was already cutting it close to being late for work and was now going to be seriously late because she was soaked. Some how that turned into an apology dinner and seven months together. She found out Matt was cheating on her after heading to his apartment to surprise him because she was home from Switzerland early. It was the last fling she was involved in and that was a year ago. Finally she had found her room and swiped the key card, it was modest and thankfully not over the top like she was worried about, it did have an off to the side kitchen area but was not setup like a penthouse suite. Tossing her bags down on the bed she went into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee when her phone dinged.

One new text message from: 049-570-110 it must be Finn's number she figured when she picked up her phone after coffee was in her hands and opened the message.

F- Reporter Girl I hope the room meets your standards, I remembered you are not one for over the top fancy.

R- Thank you for that Finn, I appreciate and it came stocked with coffee so I am happy.

F- Good. Now onto the purpose of my text. It seems our lovely MAC has been strong armed into a sponsor event tonight. So this is a heads up lovely.

Rory choked, she knew it was a possibility he maybe there since it was to showcase the top magazines and papers and bring notice to other popular but still need coverage papers. Xtreme Wonders was one of the popular ones in Australia and Andrew thought it would be great publicity for their magazine.

R- Thank you for the heads up Finn. 3

F- You're welcome we shall see you there ;)

Rory shook her head and tossed her phone on the bed, she needed to take a shower and get ready for tonight. She was glad the dress she picked fit her like a glove and accented her blue eyes. If Rory was going to see him again for the first time in five years she wanted it to be while dressed to the nines. Powering up her laptop she pulled up her playlist and cranked so it was loud, but not loud enough to aggravate anyone in the rooms next to hers. The slow beat of That's Life by Frank Sinatra followed through out the room as she headed into the bathroom humming along with the song.

An hour later Rory was nearly ready her hair was down in loose curls that framed her face and flowed down her back, like usual she didn't wear much makeup a little bit of blush, eye shadow a bit of mascara and lip gloss. Her dress was strapless red full length evening gown with a high slit, there was a sequin pattern over the halter and flowed out at the bottom. It was one of her favorites and she always received compliments on it, even with her in omnia paratus tattoo that was done in an Old English font and the umbrella tattoo in full view and the fact she had red and deep blue highlights in her hair. She stopped caring about society standards after the first year working for Andrew who actually pushed her out of her shell with the skydiving trip. Andrew wasn't one to care about norms, especially when he showed up to one of these events with neon pink hair because he lost a bet with his wife, all of the team was use to Xtreme Wonders being looked down on but it didn't change the fact they were one of the fastest growing magazines. She walked over the the kitchen barefooted and started another pot of coffee she had about another hour to kill before she needed to get going. Andrew would probably give her shit Monday about driving herself but she hated calling for car service when she was perfectly able to do it herself. Now if she could just get her nerves to settle down enough to not feel like she was going to vomit pacing around with a cup coffee she debated on how this night could possibly go. Finn probably warned Logan that she was here like he warned her. She could not, not go to this event, the sponsor sent Andrew the invitation when they learned she was going to be in the city and again, it was good publicity. She turned her laptop towards her and started up loading the pictures she had taken earlier and got the bones for her article together. It was nice having the featured spot but at the same time she panicked over them to make sure they were perfect. Glancing at the clock, she didn't have anymore time to kill finishing the cup she walked over to her suit case and pulled out her travel mug and filled it. Sitting on the edge of the bed she pulled out her black platform pumps that crossed over the top of her feet and buckled around her ankle with a three inch stiletto heel, getting up she walked back into the bathroom and put her diamond earrings and necklace on.

"Alright Rory" she said to herself taking a deep breath "you can do this. In omnia paratus you got this." She walked back out of the bathroom grabbing a black shawl and her red clutch that contained her event ticket, credit card, phone and key card she grabbed her keys and walked out of the room. 'After all you are vastly different then who you were five years ago' she thought pushing the down arrow for the elevator 'he probably won't even recognize you anymore.' She looked up at the elevator dinged and stepped in it was a quiet trip down she took the time to gather her thoughts off of a certain blond hair brown eyed heart stealer. The elevator dinged again signaling she had arrived at the lobby, taking another deep breath she released it with a huff and walked out of the elevator. Rory walked steadily towards the door, pulling out her phone to make sure she had the right address and praying the traffic wasn't as bad as it had been this afternoon when she heard it.

"Ace"
