Leila found a sign pointing to Schtaubersstrasser and followed it. Number 104 was an imposing old house, wooden beams sagging under its age. The Grossman Center next door, though, looked shiny and new, a stark contrast to the old estate. An information board outside announced that the center hosted a conference on mystical artifacts, one of the speakers caught Leila’s attention: a lecture by Prof. Eduard Yellen — E.Y. “Of course,” she muttered under her breath. “E.Y.” “Talking to yourself?” a sharp voice interrupted her thoughts.

Lea asked. "I will take you to Central Park in the afternoon before going home. Previously, I will take you on a trip, enjoying the beauty of New York. We have many instagramable places to visit and take pictures. Brooklyn Brigde, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Empire State Building, and Liberty Statue." Lea's eyes widened. "How did you know all those cool places. I lived in America for five years and never got out of Florida to explore any of them. You're like a native New Yorker now."
