The loud New York City lights seemed way too far at that moment but they were right behind the corner, just as the darkish worries covering every other thought in her mind, always floating around, like undetectable fog.
-"I dig this spring air, makes me dizzy" said smiling Serena.
Lily and Serena were strolling down the sidewalk alongside to a fenced-in park, too big for just one family but way too small for the garden variety of everybody else.
Lily nodded and said "Smells like flowers and summer rain" and kept on going straight down the street, without knowing her destination, her hands in the jeans' pockets.
She felt Serena glancing at her neurotically and Lily suddenly knew she had to fill the silence, run to a safe place before "the quiet night out", like Serena called it while forcing Lily to get out of her studio, got ruined.
-"Smell! Doesn't it smell like bouganville?" asked Lily still facing her shoes.
Serena stopped suddenly, sniffed deeply trying to label the parfume and then she said "What is bougan.. bogen... what's that?"
Her friend looked at her and laughed loudly as a demonstration of all the fun she was having.
