Ricky's P.O.V.
The next morning I woke up and where so excited to fly to the UK. I just couldn't wait to surprise Zoe and especially since it will be on Christmas day. My first plane which was from San Antonio to Dallas left the airport at 3.50 pm so at noon my dad gave me a ride to the airport which took about 25 minutes. I checked in my suitcase and went through the security control and as I was inside I spent the rest of the time that I had there by looking in shops, eating lunch and just listening to some music and go through social media at the gate. Once I arrived in Dallas, my next flight wasn't until 5.50 pm so I had 50 minutes to spare which I didn't do that much during. Once I had walked from the airplane and to the new gate I just brought myself a coke and had a weird text conversation with Gus and Landry. The flight from Dallas to London took 8 hours and 45 minutes and after eating some dinner and watching two movies on the plane I decided to get some sleep as this night would be a short one since London is 6 hours ahead of San Antonio.
After about 3 hours of sleep I woke up and the flight attendants served some breakfast. The plane then landed at London Heathrow Airport at 8.35 am and it was now Christmas day. At the London airport I had to spend 1 hour and a half until my last plane took of at 10.05 am. One hour and 25 minutes later I arrived in Edinburgh at 11.30 am and I was so excited to soon be reunited with Zoe. I then got my suitcase from the luggage claim and took the tram into the city. As the clock was turned 1 pm I stood in the centre of Edinburgh as it hit me. I have no idea where Zoe's aunt lives. I sat down at a bench and thought for myself. Okay Ricky what do you know about Zoe's aunt. Her name is Lily and I guess her last name is Harte just like Zoe. Wait a second, I think Zoe mentioned something about her aunt having a husband. That means her last name isn't Harte anymore. Dammit. I took up my phone which had a lock screen photo of Zoe. I will find your house, no matter what it takes. Just like that, an older woman walks up to me.
"Is everything okay young man?" She asked.
I looked up and saw her.
"I guess not, I'm trying to find this girl. She's here visiting her aunt but I don't know her aunts last name so I can't google her name to find out her address" I said and showed her my phone lockscreen.
"Wait, I recognize that girl" The woman said.
"You do?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, I met her this summer when she visited her aunt Lily who lives next door to me. I also saw her yesterday. She's a lovely young girl" She said and smiled.
"Really? This is a Christmas miracle! Can you tell me their address?" I said.
The woman smiled and told me the address. I thanked the woman and we said bye because she was on her way to her kids and grandkids to celebrate christmas with them. I looked up the address on Google Maps and got a description from where I was right now. I then went down to the subway and got on a train which went to their area. Hold on Zoe, I'm almost with you now.
