Aria Montgomery walks into the bar room of the hotel, followed by Spencer. The artistic golden-brunette young woman sits in a chair as Spencer does the same.
Spencer says "So…how are you?"
Aria replies "I've been doing…fine. How about you?"
Spencer says "Good. You know, I've been trying to get in touch with you a lot-"
"Yeah I know," Aria quickly says. "I've been…busy."
Spencer smirks and responds "Well, we all have been busy."
"I'm just still having a hard time," Aria says. "I can't just forget everything that happened to me here."
Spencer eyes her friend in disbelief and quickly responds "None of US have forgotten what has happened, Aria. We just rather not dwell on it, okay?"
Aria shakes her head as she looks away, causing Spencer to stand up.
"I'm going to go to my room," Spencer says with a nod of her head. "I'll be back. I just want to see how it looks."
Aria nods her head, just before her friend walks away. She watches Spencer leave just before her phone vibrates in her lap. She quickly picks up her phone and unlocks it, looking at the text with wonder.
FROM: UNKNOWN
I'M HERE
Aria looks at the text in shock as she continuously blinks her eyes.
Is this for real? Are the texts starting back?
Another message pops up and she quickly opens it.
FROM: EZRA
SORRY I HAD MY PHONE ON PRIVATE LOL
Aria sighs as she shuts her eyes in relief. She begins to smile at the text and begins typing back. Just as she finishes the text, she stops as she writes the word "babe". She quickly erases the whole message and locks her phone.
This is so wrong. I shouldn't even be talking to him. He's like a freakin drug or something. I wish we never ran into each other on that flight to New Jersey.
Aria begins thinking about the flight that caused her life to take another crazy turn.
The flight attendant gives Aria a glass of wine with a smile and says "Need anything else, miss?"
"No that's it," Aria politely says. "Thank you."
The flight attendant looks at her in wonder and says "Are you Aria Montgomery?"
"Yes," Aria says with confusion.
"I've seen your photography," she says with a smile. "It's so beautiful. You really did well on that latest photo shoot for Glitter magazine."
"Thank you I try my best," Aria responds with a smile.
The flight attendant walks away just as a man bumps into her, wasting a glass of wine on the flight attendant and Aria.
The man falls on the floor, causing the flight attendant to fall into another seat. Aria quickly tries to help the man up, but as she sees his face, she looks at him in shock.
"Ezra," she asks.
"Aria," he asks back.
Ezra Fitz?
He quickly stands up and looks at the flight attendant who is now standing up.
"Sir," she says. "Can you please take your seat?"
"Yes," he says with embarrassment on his face. "I'm sorry for wasting wine all over you and Aria."
Aria begins to open her mouth but he quickly walks away. Just as she begins to stand up, she hears a male voice.
"Aria Montgomery?"
She thinks back in the present and quickly turns around in wonder at the male voice that interrupted her thought process. As she sees his face, her face instantly lights up.
"Jason?"
