One day, a sunny day, a sunny day after the snow had fallen, and began to melt, in the spring. I was just about on my way home and this girl, an amazingly beautiful girl whom I had seen a few times before walked up to me and said, "What are you doing right now? Where are you going?". "I'm going home", I replied. Then unexpectedly she says to me, "Ok, I'm going with you." Not a question. Not a request. A self invitation. I didn't mind. She smiled. I smiled back. We walked, and talked;  It took me twice as long to get home that day. And when we got to my house she stayed a while.

How long? She's still here.
