Paperboy & Frosta
Frosta
Did you notice how the first frost turns the city into a silent gallery, each corner reflecting a different shade of ice?
Paperboy
Yeah, I was out delivering that morning and saw the whole block lit up like a crystal gallery. The streetlamps made the frost sparkle on the old brick, and every window caught a different shade of blue. It felt like the city was holding its breath, just waiting to see the next story unfold.
Frosta
Sounds like the city itself was holding its breath, waiting for a new chill to arrive. You felt the quiet before the storm.
Paperboy
I did. It felt like the whole block was breathing slow, the kind of hush you hear just before the wind starts. I watched the frost settle on the storefronts and thought the city was just waiting, like a pause in a song, ready to play a new note.
Frosta
Yes, it felt like the whole block held its breath, waiting for the next note to play.
Paperboy
Exactly. I just kept walking, listening to the faint rustle of leaves and the distant hum of traffic, like a conductor waiting for the orchestra to start. It’s moments like those that remind me the city’s always ready to sing.
