late at night.
a stranger says:
"since shortly i will be safe and sound 3500 miles away, i will say that you are probably the most ridiculous beautiful girl ever. even probably in the history of ever. respectably, i say this, of course. you should know that."
and
other, hyperbole.
and
canceling all of my plans
and
heading to
the observation deck
of
the empire state building
seems like
the only thing to do.
