"I don't know if I've heard of it," she admits, "but it has been a long time since I lived in Virginia. My family and I moved around a lot, so I'm familiar with the state, just not with the city."
Because, to Allison, she just assumes she hasn't heard of Henrietta because she was five the last time she lived in Virginia. It could be a memory thing, as far as she's concerned.
"Kind of? I mean, it was a drive away - like an hour or two, depending on the traffic, so yes it was close. Just not close enough to be there constantly. And Beacon Hills is in Northern California, so the beaches we had nearby were pretty cold. Probably nothing of what you imagine when you think 'California,' in terms of the weather at the beach, but...just as beautiful." A small smile crosses Allison's lips as she speaks, and after a moment she shakes her head slightly as if a sudden realization hits her. "Sorry, that was probably a longer answer than you expected."
