The kind of smile that didn't quite reach her eyes but held a hint of a deeper truth. “It feels… lighter.” The word caught me off guard. Lighter. I’d never associated London with anything light. For me, it had always been a battlefield—a place of ruthless contracts, sterile boardrooms, and cold, impersonal hotel rooms. It was a city of ambition and weight. Yet, looking at her now, bathed in the gentle streetlamp glow, at the quiet warmth she carried even when she tried so hard to hide it, I understood.

Kitty lightly tapped her chin with her long fingernails, looking like she was trying to get something out off the top of her head and I swore, I was on edge of peeing my pants. "I think it's something...Lo...Lon-" "London."

Dunstan’s ruin; think ethereal, haunted vibes (DON’T trip) and Borough Market; foodie shot opportunity, maybe flirt with a barista?

One minute the sky’s a charming shade of dove grey, the next minute it’s crying cold, damp tears on your perfectly blown-out hair. And honestly, it’s not killing my mood.

“Two eighty, please.” He counted out the exact change and dropped it on the bar, the sound clinking over the music. “Do you often go home with college kids who wank more often than they fuck?” 'Wank'. What a wonderful word. “Why are you smiling?” I licked my lips. “Wank. It’s a very British word.” “I’m British, if you hadn’t noticed.” “I noticed. Somewhere between you hooking my legs over your shoulders and pinning me against my car.” I leaned against the bar again. “Does it matter if I leave work with college guys?”

For her, the place was so different from London, she thought they should enjoy it for a while.

If that’s what you want then.” “Hello?” London greeted as he spoke to someone on the call. “Mr. Bennett! How’s the website going?” “Good morning to you, Mr. L.” A grown-up man’s voice responded.

We can see them, they can't see us. 'What do you mean?' 'Out there is London. Islington to be exact, closer to the border of Camden than Hackney, mind you,' he said. 'In here? Well, you're about as far away from Islington as you could hope to get.' I rubbed at my temples, feeling the beginnings of a headache splintering out across my skull.
