Piano Fire

A girl was sitting in the bus stop waiting for something to happen, maybe she's waiting for a taxi or for the love of her life. I dunno why she is wearing a wedding dress, maybe she just felt like wearing one.

I came up to her and ask her for the time. "It's ten thirthy" she said. I waited for my bus in the seat right next to her. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere, she was just there. I turned my face towards her in 30 seconds pauses maybe, just to see her eyes, to watch what she was looking at. I was there like half an hour and she didn't move. I got really intrigued by the way she just sat there with her sight in front. Then she suddenly smiled, she smiled in a very lovely way, like she was happy all of the sudden.

When my eyes turned to see what she was looking at, i saw a ballroom, people yelling and clapping, they all seemed very happy. After a few minutes, a married couple came out, holding hands and smiling.

The girl looked happy, her eyes were trembling, her palms over the chest. She stood from a sudden jump to the edge of the sidewalk with her eyes fixed in the car, the car that was taking the couple to their honeymoon or i dunno what. She sat back at the bus stop. The look of her eyes were lost, kind if an empty look.

I grabed the courage to ask her for the time again. "It's 11 o'clock" she said, "thank you very much" i replaid. "It seems like i've been stood up" -i said- "would you like to go for a cup of coffee?". "Ok" -she said- "but i have to change". "Why for?, you look lovely in that dress". She smiled and said... "ok"

"What's your name" i asked
"My name is Sarah..." and smiled again looking at the ballroom place.
