this was a weird moment for lennon. she was happy, and seeing nolan was like coming home after a long vacation in a far away land; she was comfortable with him. but there was a sadness that had previously tainted their relationship. the last time she saw him, she was crying and telling him that they needed their space to be their own person the night before he left for school. not to mention she had also been pregnant at the time and even though she tried to tell him, he never acknowledged it. at the time, she thought that telling him after he was already gone was the best thing. she had it all planned out; she had written him a letter, enclosed it with her first ultrasound, gave it to his father and asked him to hand it off to nolan before he got on the plane. that way, there would be no turning back for him. she wanted him to enjoy college, and she didn’t want to be the one to hold him back. besides, she knew she was going to be fine. but of course, she didn’t except him to go completely MIA either. 
she had thought about all the possibilities over and over and the two that seemed most plausible were the ones where he just didn’t care, and truly wanted to be apart of the frat bro life, or that he actually never got the letter. considering they were broken up, no communication really happened between the two when he was gone, and lennon wasn’t big on social media, with the exception of the tasteful selfie here and there. she kept most of her life private; there weren’t too many ways he would’ve found out about the pregnancy. but lennon was never one to dwell, and she was also never one to cling. in fact, half the time, she was living it up in her own little world  and played by her own rules. which is why most people would see her attempt at telling nolan kind of bizarre. but the fact was, she made it, and that was enough for now. one day, the truth would come out, but until then it would just be her and her little one. she never really thought about the consequences of her actions.
but the way nolan immediately gravitated towards her, with no feeling of resentment started to make her wonder. “well, i can think of a couple people that might be kind of excited to see your face back in these streets.” her words were genuine, but she was also trying to hint onto bigger things. “but things are,” she glanced upwards as she shrugged, trying to find the words. “good, you know, different, but good. taking some classes at NYU in between trying to find time to breathe.” she said jokingly with a smile, but still thinking of ways to bring up the topic. maybe she should wait, or maybe she should just say something. suddenly, she was realizing how weird of situation she had put herself in, and she was wondering where the sense in this had gone.

ONE STEP CLOSER // nolan && lennon
nolan hudson had just gotten back in town from california and so far his friends had been nothing but disappointing. now the weekend was officially here and he wasn’t going to spend another night with his couch and his playstation. he needed to find some trouble to get into. apparently the best thing going on was a concert. it seemed like every one he asked had the same answer: central park summer stage. he wasn’t much for concerts, but for this time the lineup actually sounded really awesome. although it appeared the festival was completely sold out, that wasn’t gonna stop nolan. after all, the show was at the park so it couldn’t be that difficult to sneak in. he managed to find a weak spot around the tents for the artists and was able to casually stroll in and eventually blend in with the crowd. easy enough, now he just had to avoid security for the rest of the day. now that that was out of the way, next order of business was to grab a beer. he headed straight for one of the refreshment booths. right as he was about to pull out his fake and order, he saw her. lennon was one booth over, arms crossed as she eyed the menu at a food booth. he was definitely not gonna pass up this opportunity. he walked over to stand side by side with her, crossing his own arms, their elbows almost touching. she might have been deep in thought, since she didn’t turn to look at him right away. he tilted his head slightly, as if he was whispering a secret, all the while keeping his eyes straight ahead. “the churros look good. but popcorn is always a classic.”

since becoming a mom just a short two months ago, lennon hadn’t found much time to herself. of course, she was fortunate enough to have the help of a nanny and she wasn’t exactly over worked, but these were changes she was still adjusting to. as you could imagine, she was excited to have this day and night to herself. the central park summer stage was one of the biggest concert events of the summer and something she looked forward to every year. this year she felt a little guilty about being out and not with her daughter, but she convinced herself that it would be good for her to have some fun. so, here she was, completing her first order of business before fun could really set in; food. a slice of pizza, ice cream, fires, corn dogs; she wished she was still pregnant so she could completely binge with no judgement. in mid contemplation, she didn’t realize someone had joined her at her side until she heard a familiar voice. for a second, she assumed it was some random trying to hit on her, but as she turned to look, her lips parted in surprise. it was nolan. she didn’t even know he was back in new york and yet here he was standing next to her. it was like seeing a ghost and she didn’t know how to classify her feelings; was she happy, sad, confused, all of the above? “actually, i was leaning more towards a waffle cone, the true classic.” she eyed him with a smirk, getting her act together long enough to play along before reaching her arms to hug him. “what are you doing here?” she asked, excitement beaming in her voice as she wrapped her arms around the boy. was that the right greeting? was it too friendly? with all things considered, she didn’t know, but it felt right.

Loyal, Independent, Bubbly,  Energetic, Down to Earth.
Clothing Style
For the most part, her style is very effortless, but chic. Coming from a well off family, she has easy access to designer fashions and name brand items, but she could really care less about a name on a tag. She’s just fine in her sweater that she got for $15 at Forever 21. However, sometimes when her socialite lifestyle comes calling, she does opt for a more elegant look. 
History
up until the age of eighteen, things had come easy for lennon. she was born into a wealthy family, which would unwillingly set her up for her entire future. her father was a heir to a multi-million dollar hotel deal, making him the owner of one of new york city’s most grand buildings. with views over-looking central park, an elegant ballroom, and lavish spa, it’s equipped for traveling guests that come looking for temporary luxury. as you can imagine, growing up with this as your playground was every child's dream. and what made that even better was knowing that one day it would all be hers. of course, as she got older, the appeal had worn down, but it was never something that she argued against.
however, lennon never took her family’s money for granted. despite the fact her future was already mapped out, she constantly kept up with her grades and participated in various sports, favoring soccer and field hockey. aside from the occasional gala or art show that the hotel would host, her life was fairly normal. parent teach conferences, soccer games, family trips to the beach; lennon lived it all. when she was sixteen though, her life got a bit more interesting when she met a boy named nolan hudson. 
it started out as puppy love, a stolen glance from across the class room to a friendly game of soccer that turned into harmless flirting. eventually, the two ended up going out on a date and soon enough puppy love started to feel a lot like the real thing. while her parents had other ideas on who she should’ve been spending her time with, she never let their views get between her relationship. nolan was genuine and real, showing her so much more than the little bubble she lived in; with a social circle of status climbers, he was a breath of fresh air. he was her person, and she was his. 
things were picture perfect until the summer that followed their senior year. had had been accepted to USC on a soccer scholarship, which was something he couldn’t turn down. the two had decided to stay together, but ultimately, she knew she didn’t want to hold him back from fully enjoying his college years. she was set to stay in new york and take a few classes NYU, creating a distance of 3,000 miles; it only made sense that the two of them part ways for the time being. if it was meant to be, they would find each other again. plus, it wasn’t like college lasted forever.
as summer came in an end and time crept up on the pair, lennon found out that she was pregnant. at the time, it didn’t make sense for her to tell nolan; for what? so he could trash his dream and miss out on an amazing opportunity? maybe under different circumstances would she have felt differently, but she felt like she was doing him a favor by keeping quiet. she had already made up her mind on what she needed to do. the night before he was set to leave, she told him that she didn’t think the two should stay together, and that they deserved to have this time to discover themselves. while she left out a big bit of information, she left his father with a letter that included an ultrasound. she asked for him to give it to nolan the next morning, and told him to tell him to open it once he got off the plane. 
lennon never heard anything from nolan and she took that as his way of being bitter over their break up and saying he wanted no part in the baby’s life. while it wasn’t expected, she could accept it. thankfully, it wasn’t like she was going to be struggling to make ends meet. throughout her pregnancy, she stuck to her plan and started taking classes at NYU. now, lennon currently lives in the penthouse suite in her families hotel, along with her two month daughter whom she named ellie and is pursuing a degree in liberal arts.
