The soft pink hue of the sky swirled with the fluffy clouds as the fog lined the horizon. Skycrapers stood tall, light blinking for attention while Reneé enjoyed the cool air caressing her face on the Eiffel Tower's balcony. A genuine smile graced her lips as she captured the scence with her camera.
She then tied her own yellow balloon in her hand onto the metal railing, a little note bouncing inside.
She had just met up with Mr. Balloon, Eric was his name. He was a young college student, with blonde hair and dark eyes. The moment he saw the note, he had cried, before explaining to Reneé his story. Emma was Eric's childhood best friend and and they were in a long distance relationship. He and his family had gone over to Bormes for a visit, when his parents found out they were planning to marry each other, they forbade him from ever meeting her. Emma was heartbroken over the news and she had messaged him that she was to kill herself, while Eric was in the shackles of his parents, he barely managed to leave a note for her in their childhood meeting spot, with a her favourite colour of balloons.
It was a perfect story.
If only Eric knew how many plotholes it had.
