"Look, I'm will talk to with my workmates, I be right back okay." Melody says to Zack, he just nodded and she walks away from him.
From that moment, Zack was alone, he continue to stand there waiting to others came back, until he turn around to see the beautiful sunset in the buildings of the city, he just smile to the wonderful view for a couple of seconds until he feels the blow of the wind in your face, showing a peaceful expression and so he started to speak.
"I feel like my life It's gonna change… " That's all he say while he see the beautiful sky in the afternoon.
