KIERA

I got ready. I put extra effort on my makeup today, I was meeting with Ian after today's shoot. He planned on a date. I got out of the apartment's gate to see a new car standing near the gate. The lane was already narrow having a car wasn't helpful. I went to talk to the driver. The guy rolled down the car window. It was Caleb.

Caleb: Get in.

Kiera: Ok.

CALEB

It might have been a rushed decision but I bought a car. A blue BMW X3. Blue because that was Kiera's favorite color and I am indecisive. And BMW X3 because I had the money.

Kiera: What's with the car?

Caleb: I bought it.

Kiera: You're going to stay in Boston?

Caleb: For the time being.

Kiera: Why?

Caleb: Because I want to. Where are we going today?

Kiera: Downtown Boston. We will have old places to shoot for and new additions to the place. So it's a place where the old meets the new. So aerial view will be nice.

Caleb: Okay. There is a printing place I want to visit. A friend of mine told me it was turned to a cafe. That will be good place to shoot.

I shot some of the brick houses. Brick red and old. It looked strong. It had been there for more than hundred years or so. I was clicking a photo of that lane when Kiera came into the frame. I looked at her and she realised she was blocking the frame. She did a cute run like a kid does when they break something and try to hide. After that, we went to a spot were I could get an aerial view.

Kiera: Concept is when past meets present. What do you think?

Caleb: It's good.

I saw a leaf stuck on Kiera's bag. I went to throw it but she stopped my hand.

Kiera: Don't play around today.

Caleb: What?

Kiera: I took my time with dressing and makeup today. Don't ruin it. Not everything is a joke.

Caleb: I was trying to remove the leaf stuck on your backpack. And I never play around.

Kiera: Oh I thought you were going to pull my bag.

Caleb: When have I ever done that?

Kiera: What?? You don't even remember. Wow!! We were in our senior year. You pulled my bag and I hit my head on you.

Caleb: Huh?

Kiera: You said me that things like this should happen to people like me and that it was your sole purpose to irritate me. 10 years ago ring any bell.

Well I remember the story as Elena trying to pull a prank on Kiera, she balanced the duster on the door's head and it would have fallen on Kiera's head.

Caleb: Actually that day--- I did that so that you wouldn't get hurt. Dramatizing a person's considerate actions like this. Why do you have so much misunderstanding about me?

I just walked away. Kiera always misunderstood me. It wasn't fair on my side. But I knew if I cared enough to explain her my side it would either be worthless or too much pain.

KIERA

Caleb was walking fast and looking at his phone. We kept roaming on a same lane. On the first three rounds he seemed like he was searching something. On the fourth and fifth round he was looking disturbed. I couldn't figure out what he was trying to find. All I could see that his phone's GPS was open. I couldn't roam around anymore. I stopped him pulling his backpack.
