Aiden's pov

I was waiting near LaGuardia airport to pick up Cassandra. She was coming back to Brooklyn after 5 years. In these 5 years, she never visited us in Brooklyn, except once when our maternal grandpa passed away. During holidays also she did not want to come back home stating she might lose her interest and aim, as these are just distractions according to her.

Mom and Dad were too upset with her decision, but even they could not help it. Every year on Thanksgiving me, mom, Dad and Hazel would visit her and stay with her for a week but never the less we all could not celebrate all the holidays together as it was important for our family to stay here in Brooklyn for social events and other important events. Even Hazel stopped coming with us to the UK for 2 years, stating she had some college work.

But today I am finally happy knowing that Cassandra is coming back home. She stayed in the UK with 2 of her best friends, although they all did not make it to the same college. I offered her to come in one of our private jets but she declined saying she does not want to use it and she is happy to use the same plane as others and business class is fine with her.

I don't even know what happened to her, she was a fun-loving, carefree, nonchalant, easy-going girl. I can't even imagine what happened to her; she suddenly turned cold and aloof. It became too hard for me to understand her all of a sudden. We were too close to one another but in these 5 years, we got apart a lot.

I want my sister back who was a fun-loving, adventurous girl. For which I am ready to do almost anything. It's too hard to see her this way. She has built a high wall around herself. She does not let her emotions out, she always masks them with a smile, which I definitely know is as fake as the line goes "practically unsinkable" for Titanic ship.

It's now 9 pm and I expect her to be coming out. After nearly 20 minutes I see Cassandra coming out of the airport. She wore a simple outfit. She was wearing black ripped jeans and a plain black top and paired it with a matching jacket. She let her dark brown wavy hairs with brown streaks at the tips down and was wearing a pair of sunglasses. She was carrying 2 large suitcases and a handbag.

As soon as she saw me, she came running to me and jumped on me so desperately that I lost balance but somehow I caught hold of her and my balance

As soon as she saw me, she came running to me and jumped on me so desperately that I lost balance but somehow I caught hold of her and my balance. I twirled her around and she was giggling like old times. I placed her down and kissed her forehead and said "Welcome back Cassie, oh my god I still can't believe I am seeing you here in New York".

She hugged me too tightly and we stood in the same position for almost a minute before she let go of me. "How noble of you that you came to pick me up, even with your tight schedule but I am delighted to see you Aiden" she said with tears in her eyes that were ready to fall any minute, then she pecked my cheeks.

"Cassie how much ever busy I am; I can never let anything come in between us. You are my first priority. More over my usual Saturday plans were canceled" I told her wiping her eyes.
