Hanna walked out of the house, her bags packed as she locked up for the final time going down to greet Caleb waiting at the end of her drive. Never in her life had she been this reckless but she didn't even spend a second regretting it. People had constantly walked in and out of her life but now this man was here offering her the dreams she had always wanted but had been too afraid to admit. Caleb was a real life Prince Charming and the only worry she had was that none of this was going to be real, that it was all a dream.

"Well this is it." The man said and Hanna couldn't help but smile. Quickly she wrapped her arms around him and suddenly felt something that she had never felt before. Even though this was all a whirlwind thing, even though it was merely ridiculous when Caleb held her in his arms she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. Not with her job, not with her friends, not with anyone. Maybe that was enough to make all of this seem perfect.

"Are we going right now?" Caleb had already taken Hanna's bag and was placing it in his car leaving the girl to watch and wonder. She asked because she was just wondering not because she was quickly regretting the idea she had rushed into.
"Is there something you wanted to do?" Caleb asked closing his car and walked over to the girl the smile not being able to leave his lips ever since he had met the girl.
"Well maybe we can start when the New Year starts right? There's this party, it'd be a nice goodbye to Rosewood."
"Let's go then."

Hanna walked into the party feeling much more confident than she ever had.
"Hanna!" Spencer quickly walked over to the girl and wrapped her arms around her. "I didn't know if you were coming."
"It was a really spare of the moment thing, I wasn't sure of it either."
Spencer went to carry on until she saw Caleb, an unfamiliar face to her and quickly she looked back to Hanna.
"So who's your man then? Boyfriend?"
"It's uh-" Caleb quickly started trying to get Hanna out of the situation.
"He could be." Hanna quickly smirked and placed her hand in Caleb's, his cheeks instantly going a dark shade of red.

"I haven't decided just yet."
