It's been some time since I've last seen Connor, I've properly seen him less than five times. I miss him a lot and wish we could spend some more time together but I know that's not going to happen, he's really busy with his Assassin work and I'm pretty busy myself, helping out my father and Haytham with Templar work, not only that I'm now in New York visiting my Aunt who's husband works with the Templars but is in London helping them.

My Aunt decided to come visit me with her daughter Eudora. My Aunt Charity still owns her house in New York so she's saying there for a bit and she has an extra room so I've been having some time off from the Templars so I could see them whilst I still could. 

The last time I've seen them was when Eudora was one and I was twelve at the time so it's been around six years since I last seen them and I'm so glad I have been able to see them, unfortunately, they are leaving today so they could go back to London to be with their husband and father.

"It's been great seeing you again," I say, as I'm embraced by my Aunt, I look around to see the large ship that will be taking my Aunt and cousin back home, "I'm going to miss you a lot," I say to my Aunt who smiles at me before I got down to my knees, pulling my seven-year-old cousin into a hug.

She reminds me some much of my mother's sister, her blonde hair, pinkish skin and bright blue eyes so, in a way, she resembles my mother since I've been told that my Aunt and mother looks so much alike, they've been mistaken as twins, even though my mother is two years older than Charity.

"I can't believe, how much you've grown. You're really turning into a beautiful woman, like your mother... even though you look more like you father," I laugh as she says this, I'm always told by people that I look so much like my father, "But you do have your mothers, kind heart, other than her, your the only person I know who is so kind to everyone,"

She smiles at me before pulling me into a hug again before walking onto the ship, holding onto her daughter's hand as her dress drags across the wood as she walks up the ramp to get to the ship. 

I wave as I watch the ship go, they both wave back as I watch until the ship can no longer be seen, I sign and frown looking to the floor, it's sad that I'll properly not see them in a while. I know Connor's going to kill my father so... they'll be all I have left.

I smile before walking away, hoping to find a horse to help get me back to Boston but there are none in sight, of course, when I need a horse I could never find one, I groan as I put my hands on my waist as I look into the sky to see it's getting dark, of course, it would.

It'll properly take around a day for me to get back, if the horse goes at a slow pace, I guess I could stay at my Aunts until tomorrow morning, yeah that's what I'm going to do and by the time I get there it'll be dark, that's just walking the street but if I want to get there quicker I'll need to go through the alley's and that's what I'm doing.

I speed walk through each alleyway, hoping to not be stopped. I haven't got any way to protect myself since my axe is back at home. Suddenly I feel someone grab me, I raise my hand getting ready to punch whoever had grabbed me but stopped once I noticed it was my 'favourite' Assassin.

"Connor," I say with a smile, before I glare at him, "You scared the daylights out of me," Connor apologise, I smile before pulling him into a hug, I'm so glad he's here, but why is he here?

"Why are you here? In New York?" I ask as I move from the hug, staring up at him as he simply tells me 'work' but he asked me the same question so I answered about me visiting my Auntie and I'll be staying at her house on my own, I hate staying  on my own and I feel more comfortable to have someone there.

"I was... uh, wonder if you could say with me for the night... with me? I'm on my own I'd be more comfortable with some there," I ask, scratching the back of my neck, awkwardly, one. For asking him, and two. I've never spent the night with a man, and I don't think Connor has stayed with a woman for the night, so this is pretty awkward for the both of us.

But thankfully, Connor agrees, I smile at him before reaching up, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling myself closer before kissing him, our lips move together but not for long since it's getting dark and it's easier for us to get back now, and since there are a group of red coats coming or way.

"Come on Connor, let's go," I say, grabbing him hand pulling him the way to my Aunts house and I'm not going to lie, from this night, Connor and I bonded more. I definitely feel like I'm falling for him, I just hope he feels the same way.
