Amelia Constantino was driving back to Jericho from New Bern when the nuclear bombs hit the states. She was suppose to be meeting her estranged husband with divorce papers, not get stuck helping the town and family she ran away from all those years...
Amelia was walking down the street with Heather and Emily as they looked at how festive the town was getting about Halloween.
"Jake and Emily always had Halloween down." Amelia started to explain to Heather.
Emily laughed as she remembered.
"Yea, I was always the bag lady so I could stuff all of his costumes into one big bag." Emily explained before she turned to her friend with a pointed finger.
"Let's not forget that you and Randall Maxwell snuck into town and tried to outsmart me and Jake and try to get more candy then us." Emily reminisced.
Heather looked between the two friends.
Amelia laughed along remembering all the memories.
"Well Randy and Jake always had this rival thing going on. But we always did share our hauls with each other." Amelia commented with a laugh as she swung her arm around Emily.
"That is so awesome that you were friends with just about everyone here in Jericho while you still lived in New Bern with me. I wonder why we all never met before this." Heather stated trying not to show how hurt she was that as teenagers Amelia never introduced her to her other friends.
Amelia shrugged her shoulders.
"You remember how I was back then. I was a terrible friend to everyone around me, especially the two of you."
Amelia wrapped her arms around both women.
"I'm just glad that we're here now and all friends like we should be." she told them who both agreed and they shared a big hug.
Heather looked up first as a car drove into town.
"Isn't that Jake's car?" Heather asked as they watched the car come to a stop in front of City Hall.
They heard Emily gasp in shock.
Amelia's eyes widened when she recognized the person that stepped out of the car.
"Oh my god!" Heather quickly consoled her friend.
"Who is it? What's wrong?" Heather asked Emily.
Amelia quickly wrapped her arm around her friend, but she pushed her away.
"I have to go. I can't be here. He can't see me!" she quickly turned with tears in her eyes as she rushed down the street.
Amelia turned to face Heather.
"Can you go check on her please make sure she's OK. I have to talk to someone." Amelia asked of Heather.
Heather grabbed onto Amelia's arm to stop her from leaving.
"Who is that man?" she asked hesitantly as they watched him walk into the building.
"That man is here for Mitch, and he's Emily's father, and my Godfather." she confessed to Heather whose eyes widened in shock.
