Addie and I walked down the streets of Times Square.

She sighed.

"I hope when I go to Heaven the streets of gold have giant New York style billboards."

I chuckled.

"Oh, dear sweet innocent Charlotte. People like me don't go to Heaven."

I remain silent and stare down at the pavement under my feet.

Just the streets of this beautiful city are enough to send a girl like me into a shouting spell.

I smile at the ground.

It's just a sidewalk.

But at the same time, it's so much more.

"Charlotte?"

I lift my head up.

"Uh...what?"

I ask slowly.

Addie smirks.

"Stop being so existential and hang out here with me. Don't be stuck in your head all night."

I smile and nod.

We finally arrive at the theater.

"I'm so excited."

Addie began.

"It's been forever since we've been able to actually watch a show."

My eyes widened.

"Oh! Speaking of...Tony nominees are announced tonight!"

She smiles.

"Let's hope for the best."

I nod quickly.

She smiles as we step into the auditorium.

We settle into our seats.

And for a bit, everything is ok.
