Who would have thought that a promise made by two veterans to marry off their children could still be valid sixty years later?

"Miss Hammonds, are you really sure you don't want to join us for some Friday drinks?" Francis my boss urged in his sexy British accent.
"No I have some pressing things I need to take care of when I get home." I replied with a smile.
"You've been working here for three months now, and you haven't come out once with the team and I." He further pushed.
"I promise I will next time." I assured him with another friendly smile.
Once I was out of the office, I made my way down the busy London streets and to the nearest tube station. Getting used to how the underground systems worked took me a while, but I had now mastered it, I now knew what mode of transport could take me to my desired location.
I jumped on the Northern line which was always packed at peak times then proceeded to being squashed by other passengers until I got off at Kennington Station which was a ten minute walk from the flat I had been living in for the past year.
As I briskly walked towards my flat, an alert pinged on my phone showing Caleb's newest fling; a tall blonde that was a previous beauty queen. For some seconds I wondered why I even followed these gossip blogs, I had chosen to be out of Caleb's life when Grandfather Crofts asked me what I wanted a year ago. I could still remember the heartbreak on his face when he said he would have his lawyers draw up a divorce contract and told me that the Crofts family would forever look after my mom and I so he could face my Abeulo in heaven when he died.
My motives for entering that marriage were wrong, and I should never have let the emotions that were hurt by Ben control me. Speaking of Ben, a year ago I had told him that I had gotten married to Caleb and that I had no desires of being in a relationship with him. He had not taken the news too well and kept punching the nearest wall until both his fists were bloody.
Ben and I had not spoken since then as shortly afterwards; I packed my bags and bought a ticket on the quickest and furthest flight out of the country. To be honest, that was how I ended up in London, I had chosen to remove myself from the problems that I caused or would have continued causing if I continued living my life in such a destructive way.
Unlike Caleb, there were barely any updates in the gossip columns about Ben, I normally stalked him on instagram and facebook to see what he was up to when I missed him. I knew Crawford Inc was doing well and had recently entered a venture with Yang Culture (Eric's company) to enter new markets in Africa.
As I approached the building which housed my flat, I saw a figure leaning against the building dressed in all back, I was however too caught up in my thoughts to notice the person's facial features until a hand grabbed me and spun me towards the face of the person who it belonged to.
