On the eighth week of the year, hiatus rise over the southern schools of Sweden like a peace-offering, and it was creeping close in a fast pace. Wilma and Isa both had plans; plans far away from school. Wilma was going to visit an old friend up north for some skiing and Isa was going back to the States.

"Oh, I wish you could come!" Isa whined to her friend; longing both for her company and for the reaction when Wilma would meet her new brother.

"I'd love to, but part from you, I don't have rich parents who can ship me back and forth between continents." Wilma said tart, revealing more than a hint of jealousy,

"I'll have to fix that for next time." Isa said thoughtfully. "I have to get you there some time." She thought about how her best friend would react if she knew, or perhaps when she found out about her associates over there.

Isa had not told Wilma anything about being on set, even if it was killing her; she knew her friend would be going over the top crazy when she found out. Eventually Isa had revealed her new brothers name. She started call him 'Rob', when it was getting crazy just saying "My brother" every time. Especially since she still wished he wasn't her brother.

She had definitely not said a thing about Morgan or any other 'Possibilities'.

This time Isa would be flying directly to Greenville and meet Robert there. After a few days they would fly to New York together. He had one day of shooting left, and then there was some kind of convention they would all be going to. Isa wasn't fully informed of what it was but he had persuaded her to go anyway.

This flight only went to London where she changed plane before she could pass over the Atlantic ocean. Everything went smoothly with minimal waiting and the time seemed to speed along with her heightened mood.

The rest of the flight was peaceful and so were the other passenger, but despite that, she couldn't relax. Her stomach was fluttering with something entirely different than motion-sickness.

She had a new book, but had a hard time to focus on the plot. Luckily she found a comedy with Cameron Diaz on the flight and that turned out to be the perfect distraction. Finally she even managed to take a tiny nap flying through the dark night sky.

When Robert met her at the airport it was early dawn; Isa had managed to sleep a little on the flight, but was still tired, cold and beat.

"Hello Beautiful!" He smiled and hugged her, making her lift from the ground and spin her around. She was giggling like a teenager and beamed lovingly at him.

"You are looking as hot as ever!" Isa bit her lower lip and quirked her eyebrow when he finally put her on the ground.

"Okay, shall we try the kissing now, or later?" His blue eyes sparkled with mischief beneath his wiggling brows. Isa felt a slight tingling sensation spreading. Robert laughed and kissed her cheek, telling her that they were actually in a hurry.

His warm hug and just the fact that he was near, made her feel a lot better as they walked out to his car. She almost forgot the jetlag, at least momentarily. They had no time to stop by the hotel to drop Isa's suitcase off, but went straight to the studio. There were minimal small talk going on in the car, but Isa noticed quite fast, that he was distracted both from the driving and the work. "In character already?" She mumbled teasingly and he gave her a troubled look. Isa just smiled. "Is it time to kick Vin's butt again?" She gave him a challenging look and he started to laugh.

Suddenly remembering the flight-mode on her iPhone made her peel it from her pocket and messages started to ping. There were at least five missed calls from Wilma and the same amount of messages on the voicemail. That was one annoyed friend!
