"Bill?"

I smiled in a mix of confusion and excitement.

My eyes were blindfolded and all I could feel was Bill's hand tight on mine.

"Bill? I'm scared," I said, almost whispering.

I really don't know where we are.

Bill said that it would be a surprise.

He laughed.

"If you want, I can carry you," he said.

"Never mind," I said and we both laughed.

"Bill, seriously. Where are we?" I asked, getting a bit impatient.

I continued following his lead, walking to somewhere I don't know.

"You have work tomorrow." I reminded him.

It was the last day of his short rest period and its back on the road for the band.

"I know," he replied.

I kept on walking, following his lead.

"Now, stop." He said and I stopped on my tracks.

It was silent for awhile and he turned me around.

He slowly pulled my blindfold off.

Breathtaking.

We were on a hill, beside a tree.

And before me was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

Millions of city lights flashed before me, mixing with the twinkling stars from the velvet night sky.

The night was cold, but I don't care.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, giving me warmth.

I smiled, speechless.

"You like it?" he whispered to my ear.

"I love it," I replied and he laughed softly.

He kissed my cheek and we sat down.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and he placed his arm around me.

We stared into the flashing lights, feeling the cold air around us.

"It's too bad that you have work tomorrow," I said.

"We could always come back," he replied, smiling.

"Alex?"

"Hm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."
