dump truck backfiring in my face. Every second was bliss. Even all of the interesting
New York smells. Yes,
all of them.

ache. I cannot stop smiling. I am perfectly content.
Breakfast is like curtains, isn't it?

1. Have a marvelous time and be friends.
2. Forget that I'd ever had a silly little crush.
