[Lucas Flemming had a surprise Christmas gift for Devon, a little late, but a gift nonetheless. When Devon opened the email and saw the itinerary, she was practically squealing, waving her tablet at James and Philip Aubel with excitement.
She was going to go home again for a visit. Of course, there was more than one ticket to Portland, Oregon that was purchased. What better present could she even ask for than that?]

[With all the finer details of their travel ironed out, the journey from England to the United States goes smoothly enough without any incident that made the path bumpy whatsoever. The weather in Portland is rather cool and slightly grey with patches of sunshine as it transitions out of winter. The state is green and there's a liveliness that shines through it's more urban and business oriented areas. Although Devon and James are staying in a 5-star hotel in a prime spot in the city where they can have all the fun they want with various attractions surrounding them, their true first destination is the Winters quaint home in an innocuous suburban neighborhood.
As their driver moves their car up to the driveway, Devon looks out the window excitedly.]
God... I can't believe I haven't been here in months. It's like I never left! Oh, there they are...!
[Outside, there's Ian at the window and he runs to the front door waving to the couple. And by his side, there's a new family member who also trots by Ian's side to see who's coming in.]
