The sun was shining on the streets of New York for a week like any other. For his part, Klaus Park was sitting at a table in a downtown café, observing the frenzy of urban life as he sipped his coffee. The sound of honking horns, hurried conversations and the hustle and bustle of people formed a soundtrack characteristic of the metropolis.
Klaus adjusted his sunglasses and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Andrew should be arriving any minute. It was a pleasant surprise to find him willing to meet in the middle of his week off. He felt grateful for the friendship they had built up over the years.
Klaus was absent-mindedly stirring his cappuccino, watching the people passing by the window, when a friendly voice greeted him a few seconds after he entered the café with a smile.
"Klaus, long time no see!" Andrew exclaimed, tapping Klaus on the shoulder enthusiastically as he sat down in the chair opposite him.
