The rest of the day I spent with Rose. My father caught the hint and finished the shopping without me. I took her to the high class shops, and bought her small gifts. After we finished going through every single shop in the shopping district, I decided I would walk her home. "Where do you live?" I asked her.

She avoided the question and asked if we could go into the museum. I told her sure and we entered the City History Museum. When we exited the sun was going down and father had already left. I told her to take my hand and we went to the tallest building and started climbing the steps. As we reach the top I put my arm around her and steered her towards the sun just in time to watch the last few minutes of the sunset.

She looked over at me just as the final seconds of the sunset are closing in. She leaned up to me and kissed my cheek, the same second that the sun disappeared. I looked at her and she stared back at me.

"Thanks for a great day" she said, voice like that of an angel.

We walked down the street after that. When we got to the edge of the shopping district she said goodbye to me and we parted ways. I never found out where she lived that day.
