The sky was full of stars, I loved watching it. It reminded me of years ago in Paris with Tim, we'd sit in the roof and watch the sky because dad said it was too dangerous. We never listened.

"I think I'll go. Use it as my 'coming out to society' moment." He smiled as I took another spoon of ice cream.
"Then I'll--" I winced holding my stomach. Tony's face fell. "What's wrong?" I shook my head breathing out slowly. "Is it your ribs again? I'll call doctor--
