When Spencer woke up, she was still in her boyfriend's arms. The nights event came back to her.

Toby was her fiancé. They were getting in married. In two months, Spencer Hastings would be Spencer Cavanaugh.

She smiled at the thought.

"Crap!" she thought. "I have school!"

Spencer was going to school at Williams Bay College, a small school near home, to earn her doctorate.

Dr. Sullivan had helped Spencer a great amount, and with everything she had been through, Spencer wanted to help others. In two years, she would finally graduate.

She had made up her mind after Caleb's death. She would become a grief counselor, seeing how she'd gotten so good at consoling her friends.

She carefully slithered out of Toby's arms and tip-tied to the bathroom.

She gasped at the sight in the mirror. Her hair could've doubled as a birds nest, and her face was streaked with black mascara. She'd forgotten how long she'd cried after her dream.

After making an attempt at looking halfway decent, she pulled on a black and white striped sweater and pair of black leggings. It was too cold to look professional, she decided.

After making herself a cup of coffee, she whipped up some crepes.

She packed his lunch for him (he was reviewing a job site that day) and left him a note.

"Have a fantastic day, fiancé. -S"

Spencer skipped into the bedroom to give Toby one last kiss before driving off to school.
