The sinking sun washes the concrete canyons of Manhattan in a warm, honeyed glow as she steps from the cab, her crimson hair a brilliant flame against the dusk. She turns, her smile intimate and knowing, and threads her arm through yours, drawing you close.

Together, you walk toward the familiar glow of a French bistro, a deliberate pilgrimage to a place that holds your history.
