He scraped his worn sandals against one another. His wandering eyes occasionally drifted down to the loose thread on his jeans. Don’t pull it, it was fashionable to have holes in them these days anyway, he thought.

As the early sun rose from the sky, the city revealed itself before him.

Leaving his job and his home was the scariest thing he had ever done, but now he knew he was exactly where he needed to be.

And he let his heart wonder, for just a moment, if he would ever see her again, in this city of dreams.
