Finally the day had arrived. The day that Spencer had been both dreading and excited about. She and Evelyn were flying out of Heathrow Airport at 12:45 that day. She had spent all yesterday packing and running around doing anything she could think of that needed to be done. She was feeling so happy that she would finally see Hanna and the girls again, however she was dreading running into some other people. She hadn't seen Aria and Emily in the five years that she had lived in London. She had only Skyped with them a few times and talked to them over the phone. Hanna and Caleb had come over to England twice and had seen Evelyn both those times.

But even though she was excited to see her old friends again and see the place that she had grown up in, something kept clouding her mind and was forming a deep pit in her stomach. That something was a certain blue eyed boy that she had run out on when things had gotten too hard for her. They had been having their fair share of problems during that time and she had left lots of stuff up in the air. She couldn't help but think about how he must have felt when he found out she had left.

"Evelyn, are you ready to go?" Spencer called for her daughter who was already sitting at the table in the kitchen
"But I haven't eaten breakfast yet" Evelyn told her mother, obviously confused as to why it was already 9:00 and Spencer had not given her breakfast
"I thought that we could eat some breakfast when were at the airport. We could find some muffins or something unhealthy to eat, what do you say kiddo?" Spencer asked her daughter who just smiled and nodded her head in agreement.

Spencer looked at what her daughter had chosen to wear. She was wearing a dark blue dress with black stockings and her black Mary Janes she also had a black coat to wear over her outfit.
"Why are you so dressed up for a plane ride? You know you'll just be sitting down the whole time" Spencer said shaking her head and chuckling
"I know that mommy. I just want to look good for all your friends when we see them at the airport" she told Spencer in a 'duh' kind of voice
"Are you excited to meet mommy's friends?" Spencer asked her daughter who nodded her head in response, "Okay then we'd better get going"

Once they had arrived at the airport and checked their entire luggage, they took their carry-on through the security checks and then they were in the terminal. After eating croissant each and what felt like a thousand trips to the toilet they were finally aboard the plane.
"Mommy, I've never been on a plane before" Evelyn said gripping her mother's hand. Spencer was seated next to the window with Evelyn in the middle seat in between her and an elderly lady.
"Well what you do is, you close your eyes and you hold onto my hand. And then when I tell you too, you can open your eyes and look out the window" Spencer told her daughter who then closed her eyes and held tightly on to her mother's hand.

"Okay baby, open your eyes" Spencer told her daughter who opened her eyes wide and leaned across Spencer to look out the window
"WOW, we're really high up" she said setting herself back into her chair.
She turned to the lady next to her "Hi there, we're going to America. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to America too. I'm visiting my Son and his family" the lady replied
"That's cool, I'm Evelyn what's your name? We're going to see mommy's old friends she used to go to school with. She's American you know. But I'm not. I'm English" Evelyn told the lady on one breath. "What's your sons name? Does he like playing board games" she asked the lady.
"His names Daniel, and he used to like board games when he was little but he's big now and I'm not sure if he still plays them, oh and my name is Margaret"
"Oh. David used to play board games with me even though he was grown up but I don't get to see as much anymore"
"Who's David" the lady asked the little girl
"He's my daddy. Oh well, he's actually not my daddy, he was mommy's boyfriend but we don't live with him anymore. But I still get to see him sometimes on the weekends. Last weekend we went to the pictures and we saw Madagascar. Then he took me out for dinner because I won't get to see him for 3 months"
"Why won't you get to see him?"
"Because we're moving to America for 3 months"
"Oh well David sounds like a very nice guy" the lady told the youngster with a smile
"He is. He's the best daddy... well best pretend daddy because I don't have a real daddy" Evelyn said.

Spencer bowed her head as her daughter divulged her entire life details to the lady next to her. She could just feel that the rest of the people around them could hear everything she was saying as well.

When they finally landed in Philadelphia, Spencer grabbed her carry-on; Evelyn's carry on and then practically hauled Evelyn off the plane. The child was more interested in talking to everyone who was sitting around her then exiting the plane. As they entered into the terminal all the other passengers dispersed in different directions either to get their luggage, use the restroom facilities or find the best spot for internet connection and mobile coverage.

"Bye Margaret" Evelyn yelled across the crowded room even though the lady was only standing a few metres away from her.
"Bye Evelyn it was very nice talking to you on the plane. I hope you have fun with your grandparents and your Aunt Hanna"
"Make sure to tell your son that he needs to play more board games okay?" Evelyn said with a serious tone.
Margaret chuckled "I sure will. Goodbye Spencer, it was nice to meet you both. I hope you have a safe travels" she told the girls
"Thanks Margaret. Have a good holiday, sorry about disrupting your flight hopefully you can get some rest now" Spencer said giving the lady a sincere smile.
"Not at all, It was lovely having someone to talk to" she said and then turned away walking out towards the baggage claim.

Once Spencer and Evelyn had gone through baggage claim and customs, they headed out the door to find a whole bunch of people awaiting their arrival.

"Spencer!" she heard someone call her name. She whipped her head to the voice to see Aria running towards her with open arms
"Aria!" Spencer said pulling her into a tight hug. Right behind Aria was Emily, Paige, Hanna, Caleb, Ezra and Harrison; Aria and Ezra's 8 month old son. She gave them each a giant hug
"You must be Evelyn" Aria said kneeling down to the young girls height
"Evelyn Avery Hastings, pleased to make your acquaintance" the young girl extended a hand to Aria and everyone marvelled over her English accent and how sophisticated she sounded.

Spencer furrowed her eyebrows and frowned. "Why are you speaking like that? Speak normally and give them each a hug" she told her daughter.
Evelyn smirked at her mother then reached up to give them each a hug. When she got to Caleb and Hanna she jumped into their arms and gave them each a kiss on the cheek.
"I missed you Aunt Hanna"
"I missed you too kid"
"Spencer she looks just like you. She's even dressed in the same preppy style as you" Aria pointed out
"Hey don't look at me, she insists on picking out her own clothes" Spencer said and Evelyn nodded proudly
"Well I think that you look very pretty" Aria told the young girl.

The group of people stood there for a few moments until someone suggested that they take Spencer and Evelyn to the hotel. They were just walking out the door when Evelyn spotted Margaret out of the corner of her eye. She waved her arm vigorously at the lady who handed her bag to a man and then returned the wave.

Spencer noticed what her daughter was doing and looked over at Margaret. She couldn't pick it but something seemed oddly familiar about the man she was with. And even though she only saw the back of the man she knew that she had seen him before. She just couldn't pick where from.
