“Nicole…” he called out,

“is this a dream?” she questioned her mind and her imaginations.

“No it is not,” Henry replied to her words, He lifted his palm towards to her face caressing her skin softly and slowly.

“Wow!” Nicole exclaimed, “I can not believe that this day has finally come, it seemed impossible.” She uttered, tears ran down on either side of her cheek as she gave Henry a warm embrace.

It is not like I had a chopper somewhere that was waiting to get me across town," she said to Jeremy, she was still holding the glass if water she drank little by little."Well it is always fun driving, it gives this amazing sense of adventure that you would not be able to get normally but how come you were able to know the route if you have never driven here before."
