Back to the street

Back to the street
Back to the place
Back to the room where it all began, hey
Back to the room where it all began

"Nine in the Afternoon" by Panic at the Disco

Haley couldn't believe she was doing this. Haley, the no nonsense, practical mother and wife, was doing something cheesy and romantic for her husband on their tenth anniversary. Haley was not the romantic type. She wasn't good at all the cheesy and corny stuff. Boy, how times have changed.

Haley had hurriedly got up that morning to prepare everything for Nathan. She hurriedly prepared two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and packed them and some side dishes and beverages in a picnic basket. She had rushed to a party supply store and got a raven blue table cloth as well as some candles. Then, she had made the call to Lucas, telling him what his part in Nathan's surprise was.

Haley really focused on every little detail she could. She really wanted this night to be a night spent reminiscing of the times they had when they were in high school. A night where they can forget all their jobs and responsibilities and focus on what got them to where they are right now, each other.

Now, she adorned the old, wooden table in all of the decorations she had bought earlier and got the food she had prepared out of the picnic basket and set the table. Next, she got out a math book one of her co workers let her borrow. She changed into that old crocheted poncho she had and was all set. Now, she could take Nathan back, back to the street, back to the place, back to the room where it all began.
