27 • The Short(ish) Hello (Longish Goodbye 2)

Spencer Hastings opened her journal and checked the date on her phone. Yup, it had been that long. She picked up her pen and wrote:

2 Years A.T.C. I still miss him. I miss him so damn much and wish I had some kind of sign that we were meant to be.
I know we broke up to make each other happy and I can admit that it did bring some relief to not have a relationship to juggle but now I'm done with college.
I'm travelling alone in Europe and all I want is for him to be here with me. I think about him every day, about his 'goodbye' and my 'see you later'. I'm praying he doesn't have a girlfriend. The thought of him with someone other than me makes me feel sick but he's the greatest guy out there, what girl wouldn't want him?
I don't regret the breakup, if we hadn't done it then, I know it wouldn't have ended as nicely as it did but I didn't know it would take this long for us to come back to each other.
I still love him just as much as I did the last time I saw him. I hope he still loves me; I want to see him more than anything. I have 2 weeks left in Paris, but then I'm going home, calling him and doing everything I can to get the greatest thing I've ever had back.

"Spencer? You ready?" a voice asked from the doorway of the little apartment she was renting while in the city.

Spencer stopped writing, looked up and smiled at the man who'd spoken. "Yeah Caleb, just give me a second." she said brightly.

She'd bumped into Caleb in Barcelona a week ago and they'd agreed to stick together until they went back to Rosewood. Spencer had never really been super close to Caleb, he'd always just kinda been "Hanna's boyfriend" until the whole Mona, Ali drama happened in their senior year of high school and even then, they would never have hung out one on one. She knew he was close with Toby and the two had traded information about Hanna and Toby respectively since both of the couples had broken up.

Caleb said he didn't think Toby was seeing anyone and if he was, he hadn't mentioned anything and Spencer told him she knew Hanna was still trying to get over the breakup and was finding it hard to stay in New York.

Spencer had been surprised at how much she'd enjoyed Caleb's company. They were going out to explore Paris today and Caleb was ready to go so she got up and grabbed her bag off the end of her bed. She walked out the room and joined Caleb who was waiting by the front door.

"I got a weird feeling about today." Spencer announced to him.

Caleb chuckled. "Really? Why today?"

"I'm not sure" Spencer answered. "It just feels special."

"Forgotten someone's birthday?" Caleb suggested.

"No, I always remember todays date, Toby and I broke up 2 years ago today but it's not that. I just feel like the Universe is trying to tell me something." she told him.

"Little weird Hastings but hey, I'll go with it. If it can't happen in Paris where can it happen." he said, nudging her jokingly.

Spencer laughed and the two left the apartment, on their way to take in Paris.

4 hours later they were standing at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower.

"I can't believe you made us walk all the way and still didn't take the elevator down." Caleb said between pants.

"Hey, you appreciate the view better if you work for it." Spencer said, seemingly not at all out of breath.

"Whatever you say Spencer but remind me to never ever go to anywhere taller than like, 3 floors with you. Okay?" Caleb asked, still trying to catch his breath.

Spencer shrugged. "If you say so." she said.

"Where to next? And can there be food? Seriously I think I'm about to pass out." Caleb said dramatically.
