When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue.
For all my life.

- Happy together, Turtles.



Maddison had picked out her outfit as soon as she closed the conversation with Adrian.

She was originally planning on curling her hair, but then decided against it. She didn't want to appear as 'trying too hard'.

Or, more like she couldn't operate the curler without burning herself, so at the fifth burn that graced her hands, she dropped the wand and pulled her hair in a low bun, and tugged out a few fringes, framing her face.

She then finally decided to dress up.

She was wearing a white cashmere sweater, and blue light washed straight cut jeans. She paired it all with black stilettos and a bright red tote bag.

Seems good, for an aquarium.

Then, she glanced at her phone.

3:50.

Shoot.

It was a good thirty minutes drive to the aquarium.

She decided she was going to blame it all on traffic.

His reply was fast.

Do you have any idea exactly how many times I've used that one before?

She chuckled.

No, really. I'm running late.

You do realise that 4 was the meeting time, not the 'let's get out of house now' time. Right?

Oh god, I'm almost there. I'm pulling up now. I can see the building. Come meet me in the parking lot. She lied, exasperated.

I'm in the parking lot.

Crap.

There are a lot of cars here, I can't see you.
