She posed! Wide angle, then a little closer. Those pearly white teeth shone so bright Just like the summer sun outside. She smiled, happy she was London Dreams reflected in her wide smile. Was she alone? No, there were many like her! London was just eight hours away!! Oh, is it? Yes, there was another like her with wild dreams. She was finally going to be reuinted- a lifetime of togetherness. Her dark brownish hands, the red bangles just worn yesterday. And the daimond ring and platinum bangles given by her Mr Adorable.

She took that instant selfie and converter it into a status, yeah finally her much awaited journey began Who knew those wild dreams, those happy moments would be the last.
