Seek and Find

Change in Plans

After arriving onto the property, Trina made her way to the castle's main entrance just in time to see Ava walking outside.

"Ava!" Trina greeted her excitedly.

Upon seeing Trina, Ava smiled, "Oh Trina! It is so good to see you!"

The two shared a quick hug.

"Spencer asked me to meet him here, but I wasn't expecting to see you."

Ava reached out and held Trina's check in her hand. "Oh, I know. He's already inside, I'm just stepping out for a bit."

Hoping for a clue as to why Spencer wanted to meet with her here, Trina begin to fish for more information. "So, did he tell you anything else?"

Narrowing her eyes at Trina, Ava slowly shook her head before smiling again. "I'm afraid not. But I'm sure you'll find out soon. After arriving he went straight to the East wing."

When Trina went to give Ava another hug, she accepted.

"You two have a lovely time."

"Thanks Ava. See you soon!"

Trina watched as Ava walked away. Once her friend and mentor was out of sight, she didn't bother with knocking on the front door. Letting herself inside, Trina made her way to where Ava told her Spencer was and soon heard soft music playing. Curious, she followed the sound to a room where the door was open and found Spencer standing in front of a large round table. Not wanting to make her presence known just yet, Trina watched as he ran his hands along both sides of his face, tucking his locks behind each ear.

Just like he did when I visited him in Pentonville... Trina recalled.

She had been so worried about him while he was gone, and then when she found out about what was in the letter he wrote to her - Trina wished she just tore the letter open at The Savoy and read it on the spot.

Though now, I don't have to wonder...Trina realized. I could just ask him myself. Now that we're dating for real.

So caught up in her thoughts, she didn't realize that Spencer had turned around and was now staring her way.

"Trina?"

Looking up and seeing his eyes on hers, Trina strolled over to him.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here?"

Something changed within her as she got closer to him. Trina's heart ached in a way it hadn't before when it came to Spencer. She wasn't sure if it was from seeing him after almost a week long absence, or knowing that even with everything going on with Ace that Spencer still had her on his mind. There were so many things she wanted to say to him in that moment, but as she tried to find the words to say out loud, Trina came to another realization.

She didn't want to waste anymore time talking with Spencer.
