Soon we'll be falling back into our old routine, which is a good thing I suppose.

We have been on the plane for over 8 hours now and will soon arrive in NYC. We decided to stay one night in New York and then go to Los Angeles. Kate wouldn’t be able to handle and 15 hour flight and neither would I. We could rest a little and then go to a Broadway show or just go to a mall, go to the liber statue. She hadn’t done that and I think she would love it.

*Everybody please put your seatbelts on, we are arriving in New York.*            

“Katie, we are landing, put your seatbelt on darling.* I said waking her, she looked at me confused and then realized she was on a plane. She had been sleeping for almost the whole plane ride. We decided to take the plane from 7 pm in Paris which meant that it would be around 1 am there now. I put on my seatbelt and looked at Kate, giving her a comforting smile. She still gets frightened by the idea that we are going down with a speed of I don’t even know how fast. I take her hand and intertwine our fingers, I come closer and whisper in her ear “It is going to be alright.” She looks at me and lays her head on my shoulder.

*Thank you for flying with us, have a great time in New York. This was Ryan your captain talking.*         

We all applause and thank him on the way down to the luggage part. I pick Kate up and put her on my hip. I didn’t tell her but I invited Tim to come pick us up at the airport and take us to the hotel, he would stay with us not in our room but in a different one and then we could explore the city with Kate a bit the next day.     

“Mom do you see the name card there,” She screamed enthusiastic “it has our name on it, Kate and Lucy see!” I put her down and she ran over to the board and smiled hard. I didn’t think she would have remember Tim, I talked about him but it has been almost 2 years since she saw him. Tim and I had been skyping when she was asleep and he would always comment how cute she looked being asleep and I would laugh and agree with that. One day we were chatting and we were talking until maybe 3 am here and I went to put Kate in her own bed and when I came back he would be asleep and I just didn’t know what to do and I remember waking up seeing him still on the screen with a cup of coffee and he would say “I made coffee for you.” And that right there just cracked me up and we just continued doing that almost every night for the past 2 years.                  

I dropped my luggage and ran to him he noticed me, smiled and gave the little name card thingy to Kate. He embraced me, lift me of the ground and gave me a kiss on the cheek. It felt like he was never going to lose me again. After what seemed like forever he put me back down and said that he missed me, I missed you too was my answer. Kate stuck her arms out forwards me, mentioning to carry me.

“I got her,” Tim said while picking her up, Kate smiled and started playing with the necklace he had on. “Or maybe you should take her and I’ll take your luggage?” He said and I liked that idea better so I nodded and he handed me Kate, made his way to the luggage part of the airport while me and Kate went to the gift shop part. I picked a bottle of water for my lovely daughter and a coffee for me. The jetlag started to work on us, I guess.

“Ready babe.” He said, oooh my freaking god he called me “babe” I freaked out, he put his hand on Kate cheek and removed an eyelash. “Yeah, just need to pay and we’ll be ready to leave.” I replied as smooth as I could. I paid and we left.

He put Kate in a car seat and I went sitting in the passenger’s seat. He started the car and we left on our way to the hotel. We talked a lot and sang along to the radio. When at one point my song came on, it was the first that I heard it here in America. I was freaking out and accidentally waked Kate up but she didn’t mind she started singing along. We were all singing and people were looking weird at us from the outside at the traffic lights but we didn’t care. We were having fun while singing along to my song!

I just missed my exit

Last night I lost my keys

I'm fumbling over the words I

Don’t feel a bit like me these days

I would be a liar if I said I was fine

But I can’t help being honest

And I know now is not the time

Cuz 

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces

Anytime that you're around

Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

Cant seem to hide what I'm feelin

Cant believe what I'm sayin out loud

Truth is theres no turnin back now

I guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

Been trying to cover

This heart out on my sleeve

Been set on playing this down but

I think your catchin on to me

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces

Anytime that you're around

Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

Cant seem to hide what I'm feelin

Cant believe what I'm sayin out loud

Truth is theres no turnin back now

Well, I guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

I'm losing this battle

With every word I say

Wish I had a better lesson

Of not givin myself away

Cuz

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces

Anytime that you're around

Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

*That was Lucy Hale with Lie a little better, we’ll be going on with Hunter Hayes I want crazy. Have a great night everybody and drive save.”

Tim turned the volume down and we drove farther singing along but softer, to not wake up Kate. When we finally arrived at the hotel after a 30 minute drive.
