Echoes of a Perfect Afternoon

The city hums with the electric noise of commerce, but here, in front this billboard, I feel as though time has simply folded over itself. The woman in the poster smiles a perfect, frozen version of my own joy today; she is holding the magazine that taught me to be brave enough to wear these bold polka dots.

I step forward on heels clicking like gentle rain against pavement. A gust of warm wind catches the brim of my hat and tucks it gently into place—your hand, I know you are here in this moment with me. In a world that rushes toward tomorrow, finding myself reflected so clearly was a confession written across the sky.
