A woman named Lizzy Sheppard is forced to endure a very hard situation with the untimely death of her husband, having to accept the 'till death do us part' portion of their union earlier than anticipated. While trying to cope with her loss, Lizzy un...
Lizzy booked the flight without telling Anna and surprised her the day they were leaving with two first class tickets. They could have driven to the city in question, but Lizzy didn't feel like it since she could afford thousands of tickets and not worry about that for a while. However, she didn't tell Anna that their trip was the next task and wanted to surprise her with it. She also called another of their friends named Gale, to meet up with her and to the city together. Anna didn't even know where they were going until she mentioned that they were going to visit Gale.
"Oh my gaud!" Anna screamed with excitement, "We're going to New York?"
"Yes, we are." Lizzy confirmed, "I thought we could do some shopping and touring. My treat for putting up with me and my list."
The girls were giggly all the way to their destination right up to the airport where Anna was in for another surprise. Lizzy had booked a car to pick them up and take them anywhere they wanted. Nothing fancy or stretched because she didn't want to attract attention, but one good enough to get them where they wanted to go and store their stuff from all the shopping she intended to do. It wasn't until they got to their hotel when Anna realized how out of her way Lizzy was going to spoil her. Lavished hotel rooms, room service and all the shops they wanted to hit were less than a few blocks away. It was good to take a break, but at the same time Lizzy had a plan of her own.
They met up with Gale downtown for breakfast and then spent the entire morning spending a lot of money on purses, clothing and some other stuff Lizzy wanted to take back to the apartment. Anna was having a ball as was Gale. To them it was like old times, just a little more expensive. Going out and doing things together like they always had. They had parted ways when Gale went off to New York to become a fashion designer and while she hadn't succeeded just yet with her dream, she refused to give up and kept working on it. Lizzy had intended to donate some funds to help her along knowing that Hayden would be proud of what she was doing but coming to the city and the part was his idea to begin with. She remembered every conversation about this place since the first time he suggested it, and how he never gave up on it regardless of her continuous mockery of the suggestion.

"Come on babe, to me this is what men like me consider romantic."
"Sure, sitting on the ground and eating food off a blanket. Forgive me if I don't see the appeal of the idea."
"But it's not just any park, it's the most famous park in the world. All parks are measured by this one place and I think it would be very cool to have a picnic there and eat something nice and just enjoy the atmosphere and the people all doing their thing."
"Like mugging people and stealing their valuables?"
"Ha ha... but no." Hayden said as he sat up on the couch and seemed rather serious. "I mean cheese, crackers and other fancy stuff all washed down with a bottle of some serious booze. If you don't think that would be romantic on a sunny day at this place of all places, then you're not the romantic I think you are."
