Leighton couldn't believe she was actually going to Boston. She had always planned to finish college in Essex, but she needed the best for her future. And with you also going to Boston because of a job offer, she thought maybe it would be perfect. Now, she was not leaving her original plans for a girl. Even though she'd drop everything to be with you, it's only because she wanted to be challenged more. MIT was the best for her.
So after having a fun night with the girls and an emotional goodbye, she was now exiting the plane to meet you at the airport. She was nervous. Her entire life was back in Vermont, in Essex, it wouldn't be the same without Bela, Kimberly, and Whitney.
But then again, she had you.
She stood by, waiting while typing on her phone - texting her dad letting him know she made it safely - when she heard a familiar voice. She looked up to see you waving at her.
"Baby!" Leighton exclaimed, immediately moving into your arms. "I missed you."
It had only been 3 weeks.
