Having the time to actually work out, and knowing that it was part of her job was something that Jac wasn't going to take for granted. She knew that training the way that she did was the one thing that had gotten her back in shape so fast after River had been born. Now her baby was two and a half and she thought that she was more than glad to have her body back to herself. When she had left England to start out with, she didn't think that she was going to have the life that she had now. She had made mistakes, and she knew that she didn't have answers to all of the questions that her brother was sure to have once she finally told him the truth. If she told him the truth. That was still a big if. Because Hannah Copeland hadn't come home. Jacqueline Lindsay had moved to London. And the two were not the same things. Jacqueline Lindsay was from Melbourne. She sounded like she was from Melbourne, she knew the city in and out. There was nothing that really tripped her up anymore, and that was something that she thought was kind of amazing considering that there were plenty of things to trip her up around here.
Coming back to England was almost a test of sorts. She knew that every time that she went out without makeup, she was taking a chance that someone was going to recognize her. There were only so many altercations that you could make before you really stopped looking like you, and Jac wasn't convinced that she wanted to go that far to hide from her past. She still had the chin and the forehead that she had been born with. Her nose was different. Her cheekbones were a little altered, but the eyes... The eyes were the same, and she had made sure that she hadn't held Samuel's gaze for longer than absolutely necessary before. She hadn't wanted to have a problem. She had just wanted things to work out, and she wanted River to be safe. That was the biggest thing. She wanted her daughter to be safe, and taken care of. Because Ethan wasn't here, and he hadn't been. She had been doing this on her own for a long time now, and keeping the media attention away from her daughter was the key. She was married, if anyone wanted to dig too far into it. She wasn't technically a single mother, even if she didn't think that River even remembered what Ethan looked like at this point. It wasn't as if he had bothered to come to either of her birthdays thus far. Though he had sent gifts.
It was better than nothing she supposed, but she knew that it wasn't going to be enough forever, and that they needed to just get around to signing the divorce papers. They had had them drawn up, they had just never bothered to sign them, and then he had left, and they were still married. Jac didn't know if he took being married just as seriously still as she did. Though something told her that the answer to that question was probably not. She probably should have just let him go, she should have been living her life, and not worrying about him, when clearly he wasn't all that interested in them. They had been so good, they had been good for two years. And then River had been born, and things had changed. A baby hadn't been a part of the plan, but she had thought that they were happily married, and she didn't know what the problem had really been. Something though. There had obviously been a problem somewhere... Dropping her duffel on the floor at her feet Jac looked up at the menu that was behind the counter. "Can I get the pineapple guava, but then add some acai berry to it?" She knew that it wasn't on the menu, but she thought that it sounded delicious, and was as close as she was going to get to what she had drank in Australia. The kid behind the counter nodded, and Jac looked over at the stools that were along the counter, slipping into the one closest to her, next to a brunette that looked vaguely familiar. Someone that she might have known in a past life almost. She nodded to the smoothie in front of her, "Strawberry?"
