I unlocked the chain on the door on the balloon once we landed. He stepped out and looked at me. He memorised my every feature as if his life depended on it, and I did the same to him. I made sure to remember the little scar on his nose and the wrinkle in his forehead. I knew the freckle on his neck and the swift auburn of his hair.

I didn’t know if he was single, as he didn’t know if I was. I wasn’t even sure if his name was really Sebastian.

I did know that I would never forget today.
