"So love, how was 'the city that never sleeps'?" Lorraine asked Connell
"Brilliant loved it, I've got to try and get you over there one day" Connell answered Lorraine
"Why, do you think I will enjoy it?" Lorraine asked
"Very much so, there is so much to do," Connell said
"Well, what did you do? What places did you visit?" Lorraine asked
"Well on one of my first weekends that I was free, I took a boat out to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty, it was an amazing experience," Connell said
"What else?" Lorraine asked
"Well when I finished class one day, I decided to take a walk into central park and came across Strawberry Fields and then went across the street to see the Dakota Apartments. In fact, on December 8th I went back to Strawberry Fields because there was a ceremony being held for John." Connell said
"Sounds like you had a good time," Lorraine said
"Yeah I did," Connell said
"What's wrong?" Lorraine asked
