She stood waiting by the binoculars. How sappily romantic was that? She shook her head at her own ridiculousness.

To distract herself, she gazed out across the city. The beautiful city she called home.

From here, everything was so clear and straight. The roads looked easy to navigate, like one could never get lost.

She had moved to this city four years ago. Following a dream, a memory. Some how she had stumbled upon him. And he was, real.

He was also no where to be seen.

She looked down at her wrist for the watch she didn't wear anymore, not since she had had her wrist tattoo'd.

It didn't matter, she knew that he was late.

He had to be late by now.

It felt like an eternity that she had been standing there...

"Hey, vanilla's your favourite right?"

He handed her an ice cream with an engagement ring placed in the top.

Life was so simple to navigate from this far up in the sky.

Glad to see you around again :) I like the simplicity you mock a bit, the sticky ring in the ice cream cone, the simplicity of life removed from reality. Or maybe I'm just projecting?

With the big eyes.
