Ava Hall had been up early, too excited to be able to sleep in much past 8. Not only was she in a new city, but she had taken a leave of absence from her job so she could possibly take up a new one.<span style="font-style: italic">A more exciting one.</span>Her colleague, Professor John Kegley had recommended her to Charles Vanderbilt and so here she was, in New York city. Not that she didn't enjoy lecturing at the University, it was rewarding watching her students graduate and go off into the world as young archaeologists. It wasn't what she<span style="font-style: italic">really</span>wanted to do, though. She wanted to explore new islands, chase legends and myths.<br/><br/>She skipped out on the hotels breakfast, getting dressed in some casual attire and leaving for the day. She wanted to take a look around New York city whilst she had the chance. The job might not follow through, then she'd be on a plane back to London before she knew it. The city was bustling with life, loud and noisy. More so then London, which didn't surprise Ava much. She spent the day sightseeing, stopping for lunch in a small cafe before heading back to the hotel to get ready for dinner tonight. She knew she had to make a good impression.<br/><br/>The young brunette dressed up nice, in a long black lacy dress with her hair in a fancy updo. When she arrived, she was thankful she had decided to dress formally. This was the kind of house where she would stick out in her normal attire. When she was taken to the parlor, she looked over the other two that stood waiting. "Good evening." She greeted, a bright smile spreading across her face.
