Midnight Hillsides

"You really are a creature of the night, aren't you?"
"Only because no one else is. I'm not afraid of the dark." They were sitting on the edge of the roof, three stories above the sidewalks and pavement of the busy cab-calling night life below.
"It's like we're flying over them. This is so cool. I bet the view is amazing in the daytime."
"Yeah, sunrise is spectacular."
"I'd just be afraid someone would see me."
"They can't, we're too boxed in that the angles are all wrong so they'd have to be pretty far away. People never look up anyways."
"How did you find this place?"
"It just sort of happened. It's a good roof, there are a couple others to equal it but not many."
"You really know all the secrets to this place huh?"
"Hmmm." She smiled quietly in the dark, breathing in the freshness of the spring air.
"It's a good escape."
"I'm surprised you even showed me."
"Yeah, well, I trust you not to ruin it."
"No, I understand, sometimes it's just too much being here and always being around other people. There has to be a break somewhere."
"I miss my mountains. Here I can see them- or at least envision them at night. Here they don't seem so far away."
