CASSANRA'S POV

who knew the dazzling city of new york could be so chilling at times? i, personally, was unaware. on that note- why aren't there as many coffee shops as in the films? in most i've seen, there happens to be a coffee shop everywhere one turns. perfect for the indie, romantic setting- i guess. do i look romantic..? -in my long sweats and large winter coat, which consumed me like a mystery novel in december? oh, hell no! do i happen to wish some lovely woman would see me, and fall head over heels in love? hell yes!

" goodness, it's cold. " i mumble as i stomp down the lead-ridden sidewalk. 

the crisp november air smacked my hair into my face, and i grumbled and fussed it away. i hold my gloved hands over my earmuffs and sigh, as i accidentally knock out one of my airpods. i stare down at it, attempting to find some telekinetic wavelength of energy to float it back into my hand, like a child testing if they had superpowers. i realize how idiotic i must seem and lean down to pick it up, dusting it off, and placing it back in my ear. i cover my ear with the fuzzy covering as 'goddess' by laufey begins to serenade my conscience. i smile to myself, at the warm feeling that music brings to a listener. i feel my pocket begin to buzz, and i assume my phone is getting a call. i whip out the device into my hand, and smile at the name on the screen. the AI in my phone reads off the call to me.

" juliet etienne is calling. answer it? " the voice asks.

i grin to myself and slide the call button to answer, putting the device up to my ear.

" julie, love? " i call to my best friend, and wait for an answer as i continue to walk, smiling at a mother and child as they pass by me.

" cassie, babe! " i hear return the greeting. 

" where the hell are you? i need a buddy to walk livia! " i chuckle to myself as i hear juliet's concern for me to walk her labrador with her.

" i'm almost at the apartment, oh, i see you! " i grin as i come upon the familiar brunette standing with a black canine on a bright red leash. 

i wave to juliet and hang up the call, as i stride to her, almost running. her eyes light up as i walk over to her, and her lab, olivia, immediately nuzzles my leg. 

" hello, liv! how's the best puppy in the world? " i giggle and bend down to pet her. i make my voice much higher pitched than it usually is to talk to the animal.
