CHAPTER TWELVE

Ana sat at the little café on Broadway waiting for Sally, reflecting again over everything that had happened on her trip. Saying

goodbye to Jennifer and Stavros had been even harder than even she had anticipated and was warmed at the sight of Stavros eyes being damp and although he said nothing, hugged her as if she were a long-lost relative.

“Take care of yourself, Anastasia Cassadine and don’t forget you’re newly found family here.” he whispered in her ear as they hugged goodbye. She choked back a sob and nodded before moving on to Jennifer, not even trying to hold back the tears of sorrow at leaving her new friend. The sound of a horn pulled them apart, Ana having insisted on going to the airport by herself. She knew Jennifer was busy and Ana needed time to herself. In six weeks, Jennifer would be in New York and they could spend time in Ana’s city. They were both excited about the continued adventure.

The trip home had been long and uneventful so it had given Ana the time to ruminate on the past week and a half. Her life had changed so much she almost believed it was a dream.

Now, sitting at the little table on the street, she felt the surreal feelings overwhelm her again. Nothing had changed in her city, it was the same New York she had left, but she had changed.

“Ana! I’ve missed you so much!” She looked up and broke into a grin at the familiar face of Sally. She rose and gave her a hug before she realized she had never hugged Sally before and Sally was taken aback for just a moment before she threw her arms around her.

“Seems like London has been good for you!” she laughed.

Ana released her friend and they both sat down.

“Hayward’s Heath to be exact and it was wonderful!”

“Don’t tell me we will be relocating across the seas!” Sally joked.

“Not necessarily relocating but the thought of expanding has crossed my mind.” Ana laughed.

“You’re serious! Oh my God, tell me everything! It’s Sunday, we have all day and I don’t plan on letting you go until I hear it all!”

They spent most of the lunch hour catching up on Ana’s London experience. Sally was enthralled, only interrupting occasionally when Ana’s descriptions weren’t thorough enough to satisfy Sally.

Ana found herself a little jealous when Sally seemed to know more about Rick than she did. Come to find out, Sally had followed Rick’s career from the very beginning, with the release of his first book.

She was relieved that Sally didn’t seem knowledgeable about Rick’s personal life and marital tragedies, that information he had divulged only to Ana and Jennifer.

They eventually ended up at Ana’s apartment, Sally insisting on ordering Ana’s favorite Thai takeout and although she was exhausted, trying to adjust to the time change between the two countries, she felt the need to tell Sally about her entire experience. She felt a moment’s hesitation telling Sally what really happened that
