Two years later

Avery had finally decided to return home after her bad boy brother's wedding. Her and Caleb had become a lot closer in the two years she had been apart from Marcus; he for one was not happy that Avery had decided to stay away and not face up to either him or Noah. She'd been posted in Greece then she was posted in Egypt for a further six months they couldn't believe the news when Caleb came home telling them she wouldn't be returning she'd been promoted and was working in one of the more exclusive museums in L.A. After her and Caleb had been to Matt's wedding she'd dropped the injunction after they'd met at the fight and he'd introduced her to his girlfriend now wife, Shawna. She was so pleased for them both and was glad he'd got over his obsession with her and they were now stronger than ever. Now he wasn't quite convinced and he'd voiced his opinion on many occasions but she chose to ignore him and drop the restraining order and have a relationship with her older brother.

She wasn't sure how long she'd be back in the U.K. for but she'd landed herself a job in the museum in London helping the team of archaeologists sort out and clean all the new exhibits that were to premiere on a few months they'd asked her personally to talk about the exhibits to the visitors. Some of the exhibits were to be held in Birmingham where she would be going after her time was done here. Returning to a place she wished to forget but she knew she had to face Noah and Marcus sooner or later she'd put it off for the last two years. She'd barely spoken to either of them and she was still undecided; she for once just wanted a life without drama but she knew there was going to be a shit load of it once she returned to her hometown with Caleb, he'd decided to tag along with her after the wedding. She was glad of the company. They didn't spend much time together as they were both working and their lives were extremely hectic. He was still the face of ALP which was taking him all over the world and their new business ventures and promotions he was glad to accompany her.

He slipped his arms around her kissing her cheek. 'How are you babe?'

'Hey Caleb. I'm good, you?''

'Missing you like crazy as ever.' He smirked.

She tapped his shoulder. 'Now stop that bad boy.' She laughed.

'Well I have. We hardly see each other.'

'We are seeing each other now.'

'Not funny.' He frowned. 'It's not the same babe.'

'I know.' She sighed. 'How long are you staying?'

'Not sure hopefully for the year. There's a lot of new projects this upcoming year, maybe a little longer, you?'

'I'm here in London for six months then back home.'

'Are you ready for that?'

'Not really, but I can't hide forever Caleb.'

'True. Let's go out tonight and celebrate.'

'Aren't you working tomorrow?'

'No are you?'

'Yes. All day.'

'Well that sucks.'

'Tell me something I don't already know.'

'Well we best not get drunk until Saturday night then!' He chuckled.

'You're evil Caleb Cater.'

'That's why you love me Avery Collins.' He joked.
