I can’t repeat my parents mistake.
I did away with all pending works and rushed down to the parking lot . Geez, I need to free my self for these hours.
I entered my car and drove straight for LIT UP , it has been one of my favorite spot ever since I came to Ontario, I would go there and watch couples and lovers have nice dates . It was a lovely sight.
Still in my thoughts, I didn’t know I’m already at the one place I feel happy .
I parked at a safe spot, highlighted from my car and entered , I was gazing through to get a perfect spot for myself when my eyes met the blue Iris of a beautiful woman. Well she looks younger but I couldn’t resist and I approached her and joined at her table.”
