Landscape of a City on Fire

I woke up in my bed, her beside me, touching noses. I had to go to my college to rent out a Super 8 camera for a video project I was going to do a day after. We left the house early and stopped at A&W to eat a completely unhealthy breakfast sandwich combo with coffee. We got to the subway parking, but as she opened the door to exit the car she spilled out her coffee all over the seat. She cleaned it up quickly and joined her hand in mine. We started walking to the station. Admiring the grace of the day and bright smile of the sky. Eventually, we got off the train that left us right into my college. I borrowed the camera and all the gear needed. Then, we went back to the car. The day was still early. We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful day and the great temperature (which is often rare in Canada, espicially in Quebec). The idea of going to the movies came to mind. We started looking for the latest releases and theaters around. We set our mind to go watch "Portrait of a Lady on Fire". I drove a couple minutes, parked the car, and entered the place. We bought our tickets, but the movie only started in a hour so we headed out. To pass time, we went to a small museum that was near the theater. It was a film museum where we got to see cameras and projectors that were even older then the super 8. Fascinating. It's a museum close to my heart since it is where I went back in the day to project some of the movies I played in as a child actor. It is close to many residents' hearts since it is where they usually screen all the local film premieres. It's not that small of a museum come to think of it. Anyways, we walked back to the cinema and bought some snacks. I had forgotten how expensive a popcorn was! The movie started. There were only 2 other people in the room. The movie was astonishing, a must-watch! Over my expectations! We stayed in the theater for a while, walking around, looking at the city, and realizing how empty it was! Anyways, we started walking around looking for somewhere to eat. Nothing caught our eye right away, but a crave for "poutine" began to form in both of our minds. We drove 10 minutes to our destination, the ultimate place to eat "poutine" in Montreal, "La Banquise". We ordered what we always order, a Boogaloo (Seriously try it!). It was delicious, delightful, delectable... Yeah, I think you get it. We decided to go take a walk around the park next to the restaurant to digest. It was lovely. The kids were playing, the sporties were jogging, the elderly were sitting. Birds flew around and dog-owners walked with their pet greeting all the other dog-owners that passed by. From where we were, we could see the whole city. We knew that heavy restictions were probably going to come in soon into the city. We had heard it on the radio on our way here. It was still alive though, but something was off. People were starting to get scared by what the media was saying. They were cold (not just literally). We passed by a church and decided to sneak in to pray for the COVID-19 situation to get better. We went back home and watch some good old episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" on Netflix. We fell asleep, nose to nose. The next day... evything closed so we couldn't have chosen a better time really.
