as the sun slowly dipped under the horizon and disappeared behind the city sky line, the cocktail-blue sky was painted an array of oranges, pinks and soft lilacs.
with the winter's sunset accompanying the city's rush hour, the golden-tinted streets were disrupted by the rude honks of impatient drivers and the bustling chatter of students and adults alike clogged the air like an intoxicating cloud.

"what's bothering you?"
