“Sure.”

When they get to the truck Shane once again opens Harper’s door for her. “I didn’t realize how late it was. I suppose you need to get some sleep.”

“I don’t usually sleep before 2 so I have a little more life left in me.” Harper says testing the waters trying to get a feel for the situation. Is Shane hinting that she wants to take her home or that she wants to continue.

“Oh really? I thought since it was a work night you might have a curfew.” Shane says playfully.

“No curfew, I can stay out as long as I like. That’s the cool part about getting to be as old as me.” Harper gets playful back with Shane.

“What is it like to be so old?” Shane smirks.

“It’s great!” Harper laughs.

At that moment Shane is drawn into Harper’s deep blue eyes. She realizes that she is staring and gives Harper a nervous smile.

“Would you like to get some coffee?” Harper asks.

Shane nods her head, “Yeah.”

Shane hops in the truck and Harper directs her to a coffee shop in Echo Park. They get their coffee to go and hop back in the truck.

“I wanna show you something.” Harper says looking over at Shane.

“Ok.” Shane smiles.

Harper directs her up into the hills of Echo Park, instructing her to pull over at the top of a large hill. Shane pulls off and parks on the shoulder of the road.

“Come here.” Harper says opening her door, coffee cup in hand.

Shane follows suit and meets Harper at the front of the truck.

“This is one of my favorite places to come.” She leads the way to a clearing in the trees. “Look!” Harper points to the view of the Los Angeles skyline.

“Wow! This is beautiful.” Shane’s never seen a view of L.A. like this. It captures Downtown perfectly.

“Yeah, isn’t it. I used to come up here all the time. It’s so peaceful.”

Harper sits down on the fence. Shane joins her. They sit quietly for a few minutes taking in the view.

“When I lived in New York I had this one apartment that was so tiny. It was awful, I couldn’t stand to be home. The only good thing about it was the landlord took a liking to me and gave me a key to the roof. I would spend hours up there at night looking out over the city. It looked so beautiful at night. No matter which way I faced I always had a great view. Look one way and it was the Empire State Building and the Chyrsler Building. Down the other way, the Twin Towers.” Harper falls silent, her mind thinking about her changed city.
