Nothing Much..

"Okay behave." Tom said as we both entered a small local bar in London. "Ava?" Tom said as we approached a young woman sitting at a table by herself. She looked just like me. If my eyes where blue you couldn't tell who's who. 


She quickly stood up and shook both of our hands.


"It's so lovely to meet you." She said as we all sat down at a small table. 


"How long have you lived in London?" I asked breaking the awkward silence. 


"Around 5 or 6 years. I lived in a small village west of London until I was 11." She said sipping on her tea. "What about you? HOw long have you lived in London?"


"Umm I moved when I was 4 or 5 and lived there until I was 19, so a few months ago. I live at Downton Abbey now because our Aunt Elizabeth died due to a fever." I said as she nodded and looked at Tom. 


"What about you? What's new since the last time we talked?" She said smirking. 


"Umm nothing much." 


"How's that niece of mine? I should come over and see her once in a while." 


"What about you? Any children?" I Asked trying to change the topic. 


"No, unfortunately my husband died a few months ago. He was run over by a train."She said nonchalantly.


"We're so sorry." Tom says and she just shrugs and looks at her watch. 


"I really must go I have a train to catch. Thank you for meeting with me and it was so lovely to meet you both!" SHe said and practically skipped away. 


"That was weird." I said, Tom just nodded and we both went back to Downton to be met by more than one friendly face.
