Prologue

The chocolate brown eyes of hers currently scanned the room asks looked for the coat , it was much colder than what she was used to. She looked at the picture frame that was on the nightstand as she inhaled a breath that was a mix of the chalky paint and a new home . She just moved here , it was much different hen her a small hometown in America or even New York , she defiantly knew she'd like it here in the Uk. She picked up the picture frame with with her engagement photos . She carefully took it out before looking at how happy she was how happy they both were ,she still couldn't wrap her mind around it . Why would he throw it all away .
She actually couldn't believe her eyes to see her best friend in bed with her fiancé , I mean she knew there was a thing but deep down she didn't want to admit it to reality .
So instead she moved across the world and cut her hair short, changed her appearance and decided to move on with life and start over.
Spencer Hastings never gave up , it wasn't in her blood she never wanted to. For her this was the end of the world . She'd always tried to be perfect , maybe it was the way she was raised , watching her mom die in front if her ,she always thought she was going loose her dad .
The air conditioner zapped her from her thoughts as it cooled down the already cold apartment and she walked over slipping on her slippers she had since freshmen year of college, a pair of her moms shoes actually . She walked over turning up the thermostat , she heard some people yelling in heavy British accents across the hall . Her thoughts wondered to the boxes that were filled with all the bare nessacties . She let out a heavy sigh picking up her phone looking at the spam of ' I'm sorry .' Messages . She sighed and tossing the phone on the bed and she grabbed the scissors unpacking boxes after boxes late into the night .

the next day arose she was not used to the time change , her body was dying for extra rest as she forced her body to get up . She took a shower and got dressed in some jeans and a simple oversized sweater as she slipped on some ankle boots . She swiped a brush through her medium length hair a few times before tying it up into a bun . She grabbed her purse along with her phone and headed out to find a little coffee shop. She made a mental note to stop at the bank to get some euros , as she only had enough for a taxi to get to her flat .

She passed several but didn't stop until she found a small one in town , a book store and a little cafe . ' daily delights .' She smiled expecting to have to get tea after all she was in the uk . She opened the door as the little bell rang as she walked in , she carefully glanced around as it looked nice and cozy. But then again she knew looks were deceiving, she noticed a few people crowded around taking pictures but she didn't think much of it .

She got in the line and fiddled with the string as she glanced at the menu and decided on a shot of espresso, before exploring the rest of the small city . She walked up and quietly spoke up and ordered her coffee and as the total came out she heard someone speak up from behind her .

"I'll pay for it ." The gentleman said and she turned around and blushed "you didn't have to ." She said looking at him and he smiled . "Well I wanted to , your so gorgeous , do you want to maybe sit and have a coffee ?" He asked looking at her . Spencer nodded and she thanked him for the coffee as they went over to boho chic sitting area and she sat in the chair crossing her legs as she sipped her coffee after her shot of espresso, god she still couldn't focus . His accent was hypnotizing , it was it his blue eyes . God was it even okay for her to feel this way .

There was people watching them and mummering but she didn't pay total attention as Suprisignly she was enjoying herself , God she felt lost in those eyes.

"You aren't from here now are you Spencer ?" He asked furrowing an eyebrow gently as his British accent brought a smile to her face.

Her face flushed to a light pink as she blushed and shook her head no " is it really that obviously? "She asked giggling a bit .

"No no , it's actually not other than your American accent and the fact that I'm really involved with the people here ." He smiled a bit . He was astonished at how gorgeous she was inside and out , it wasn't the exact way she looked or talked it was just her , she just brought this little fluttering feeling inside him .

She brushed her hair from her face "you are ?" She asked smiling as she took another sip of the bitter liquid .

He nodded " my dad he's pretty important , he's the prime minster , you know ." He tried to keep it as cool as possible .

She almost wet her pants after but didn't know how to react the son of the prime minster was interested in her . "oh god I'm so sorry ." She states as she dig around her purse for some euros

" No no honestly I wanted to buy you a coffee , your so gorgeous , don't even worry about , besides I hope it made you day ." The sweet words rolled off his lips and she couldn't help but rethink all her thoughts . Not all men suck. She couldn't even believe herself , well that she was feeling this way.

God , she came her to find herself not fall in love , with his British accent ,just wondering through her mind . He was so sweet and kind , well of course all the people were , but were his motives true . Did he really liked her ? Or did he need an arm candy ? Someone to show to his parents ? A rebound ?

Her thoughts were about guys they are all same ,she had thought the same about every guy she came in contact with now . Or did she ?

"So why'd you move here to the uk ? You know ?" He asked gently , as he studied her face , it was something unique about her he couldn't quite grasp but he knew he loved it .

"oh well .. I lived in a small town where I grew up and I moved to New York and I met the love of my life ..." Her expression went sour just thinking about it , but she tried to shrug it off , could she just not tell him. Should she ? Or maybe another time ? Well why not ? She debated back in forth before the words just continued rolling off her lips " well at least I thought , we ended up having differences and some things tore us apart ." She said softly and nodded her head a bit . "So I decided to give it a shot here ." She blushed a little as she finished and she let out a heavy breath of relief.

He was scared to react , to let out the wrong emotion he caught himself before he could do anything stupid or at least he thought. "So you aren't really looking for a new relationship ." He felt so stupid but almost like he felt is heart sink into his stomach. Something about her made her so irresistible but he couldn't quite grasp exactly what it was

She blushed and she thought about it for a moment "no I'm not looking for one .." She said quietly "but I think i just found one that's worth giving a shot ." She gave him a wink and she let out a little small smile . Something much of of her comfort zone she was normally shy , she stuck to what she knew .

Oh god she felt her stomach turning as she thought to herself , did she really do that ? How corny did that look , oh god she just embarrassed herself , her overthinking was killing her

He felt like a little kid in the candy shop , he smiled and they chatted and the hours went by and she looked at the time it was already past noon .

"I should actually get going , I've got some more things to unpack ." She blushed as she grabbed her purse .

He smiled a bit as he was a little sad that there time came to an end ," I was serious about taking you to dinner sometime ." He smiled reminding her .

She blushed and nodded as she grabbed her purse and she pecked his cheek and left , now that was something he wouldn't mind getting used to .

She came to find herself but little did she know she would be finding the love she never knew she needed , and it would be in those ocean eyes.
