A hidden Clock Shop

Upon having come across an old letter, written by my very special girlfriend, i decided to invite her to a cup of coffee in a small town bout an hour away from where we live, of course my mum would drive us. And so we started our day. My friend is homeschooled and so does not have as much exploitation as i do. But that does not stop our conversation- well conversation that we had.
The ride to this touristy picturisque town was quiet, and we did not really talk alot but i know that despite this we have a very strong bond and silently communicated our deepest thoughts.
When we arrived we could not decide of what cafe to stop at, so we did some window browsing instead. You would never expect that a hidden old-fashioned looking clock shop could challenge you to have such awe and amasement, to find such inspiration as we did. It was my friends first encounter with an old grandfather clock, and the first time that i ever took notice of the intricate detail that was beheld in it. And thus I realised that this could be a great example for when meeting new people. They may seem dull and boring on the outside, but if you look at the person carefully(get to know them not judge them etc) then you'll notice the intricate beauty and detail that they can share with you. They will open up to you and show you their beautifull design (im not meaning this in the sexual way but as in they will become honest with you and help you in your time of need and maybe expose their sincere difficulties that theyre dealing with) - To imagine, all from a clock shop.
There were more modern looking clocks of course which were also appealing to the eye. Maybe more well liked, more abstract and more fashionable, but i still came to the conclusion that these modern clocks would not bring the same fascination to a child than a grandfathers clock or a cookoo clock.
Why a childs interest? Because children as innocent as they are see things in a different more metaphysical way, they trust more, nothing can be bad or wrong to the eye. And its the truely wonderful things that excite them!
I dont know what my girlfriend thought of all this but i suspect she enjoyed it. Our cafe outing was brilliant, good food, great coffee though I can't say that braces made it easy to eat :(
We had a very pleasant day finishing it off with a wonderfully fairytale like movie.
Good friends are rare but true friends are even rarer!
