Noiseless New York

"What if this was meant to happen?" I ask, eyeing the ground beneath my feet.

"Nothing is 'meant' to happen. We make it happen ourselves. Sometimes the choices we make aren't the right ones."

"So I made the wrong choice?" I look up at him, pain filling my expressionless eyes. He glances at me with pity. He sighs, turning back to the New York sky line.

"All I'm saying is, this wasn't supposed to turn into a love story."

How can a world that's so big seem so small?

For Annalisa, nothing has been easier. Always being confined to New York's safest neighbourhood, Sutton Place, Manhattan, her only dream is to get out, escape her family's expectations, her bpring life and restless mind, Mrs. Romero's weird routines and Hamlet's appauling sense of fashion.

The only things that make her life that less miserable include: cucumber water, Callaghan, poetry books, and of course Corin Silver and his weird obsession with sunglasses.

Sometimes people are bound to fall in love due to circumstances and situations they were put in. Other times, there is no reason at all.

It just sort of happens.

Sometimes to both and sometimes to only one.
