I just hammered this out. I was listening to my MP3 player and heard Breathe by Michelle Branch. I immediately got this visual in my head. It has not been betaed and it just kinda stops. Forgive me. It's just a fluffy little piece I thought y'all would like.

Jamie and Sandy just moved into their new New York apartment. Sandy had gone out to get some groceries, leaving Jamie to unpack a few boxes. He was in the wide open living room trying to decide where to put the low-slung entertainment center. Looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, he decided to put it under the center-most window.
After sliding the black metal and glass unit between the radiator and his favorite leather chair, Jamie walked into the office off the living room. This is where most of the boxes were piled. Opening a large one labeled SONY, he began to unpack his beloved stereo.
Piece by piece he moved it onto the glass shelves. Once all the pieces were put in their proper place, and the ugly wires hidden as best as he could, Jamie returned to the office and pulled out the black leather CD case. He thumbed through it looking for something to listen to. INXS?...nah, Bent?...nope...Coldplay?...maybe. He continued to flip through the cases, finally landing on Sandy's Michele Branch CD. Taking it out of it's jewel case, Jamie read the song titles. 'This looks like it might be ok.' He takes it out into the living room and pops it in the CD changer. Hitting shuffle, he returns to his original task of unpacking.
He's in the kitchen area which is off to the left of the front door. The whole flat is really one big room, except for a powder room and office. The bedroom and master bath are located upstairs. The kitchen runs along two walls in a small 'L' shape with a huge prep table situated near by.
Jamie finds himself humming along with the CD, enjoying the upbeat music. Sandy's favorite song comes on, he believes its called 'Breathe'. With no explanation except that he was really happy, Jamie starts singing and dancing around the apartment.
He doesn't hear Sandy come in. She heard the stereo when she got off the elevator, and silently cussed Jamie for being so loud. She wasn't really irked, she just didn't want their new neighbors complaining. She slid her new house key in the lock, and opened the door.
What she saw made he heart dance. Her man, all 6'2'' of him, dancing around like he was some 12 year old girl! Such utter joy written on his face. She watched him for the duration of the song. He never saw her, because his beautiful grey-green eyes were closed.
When the song ended, Sandy clapped, scaring the hell out of Jamie.
"Fuck! You scared the shit outta me wooman!"
Sandy just laughed as she approached him. Laughter danced in his eyes as well. "Sorry, you just looked so happy."
He was, and she was too. And their happiness continued to grow, in that New York apartment.
