A blur of colours zipping past.
Cars.
Footsteps thundering up and down concrete.
People.
The humming of sweet melodies, masked by blaring horns and impatient yells.
Birds.
A young woman tapping her head against the wall, staring at the cloudless blue sky.
Maria.
Notebook in hand, she watched. Figures glided past, grey, black and white shadows against the vibrant backdrop of the bustling city. Bits of gum stuck on the pavement, the occasional sighs of dread and subsequent rolling of eyes that ensued when the foot of an unobservant individual stilled, pulled by stringy chewies.
Fluffy, brown and tiny.
Excited yips danced around her as an apologetic teen dashed towards the brunette, cheeks flamed pink. 'CHER! DOWN GIRL!'
Flowers appearing around a corner. Black, polished shoes pumping the pedals of an antique ride. Teeth glistening in the midday sun. 'Missed me?', crinkled brown eyes smiled at her.
'You have no idea.'
