Homecoming

In midday Manhattan, directly in front of the 5th Avenue branch of the New York Public Library, the pair of marble lions had a constant breeze of visitors passing by and entering this institution of varied volumes.
In the busy metropolis, faces become blurs and the speed of life whistles past each soul. Sometimes, people have to just take a deep breath and reflect on where they've been in the past.
As a man and woman passed each other on that busy street, both realized that they knew the other.

Sylvia's coy smile was what he could never forget.
He had a few wrinkles forming around his eyes, yet still she knew that smile. His dark brown hair had a few flecks of gray in it. It was him.
Daniel's gentle voice enraptured her once more, "Sylvia?"
"Daniel?”, her light brown eyes danced with flirtation to this man she'd known years prior.
"You want to get a cup of coffee".
"You and I don't do coffee, Daniel".
He nodded and whispered in her ear, "You're right. We do each other, Sylvia".
Giggling, as she'd done so many times before in his presence, "So, just like old times, huh?"
"If it were like old times, we'd be in a hotel under the next five minutes”, Daniel smiled.
"Well, with maturity, things change”, Sylvia’s wicked wit drifted from her lips, "Make it twenty minutes, Daniel".
