Not taking no for an answer, he draped the coat over my numb shoulders. Leading out of a one way street and into the city lights I found my cheeks aching from the ecstatic smile plastered across my face. Stopping in my tracks i t suddenly clicked that iââ¬â¢m halfway across the world; with the London eye standing high above me, every carriage lit up as though it was a dream.
