She carried her overstuffed hand luggage and boarded the plane to London, feeling like she was leaving home again but 30______ to see her old friends too.

She still looked years younger than she was and could have passed for a teenager in ballet flats and jeans at twenty-four.

She didn’t 32______ it but Sue and Vicky were at the airport to meet her, as a surprise when she came through customs. They held her tight when they hugged her and they both cried and so did Pat.
