black pendant lamp turned on during nighttime

"Can I go with you?" she asked.

"Go with me...where?" he said, smiling at her.

"Wherever you're going.  I'm ready and I'm tired of being bored."

"Oh, the sign," he snickered.  "Yeah, it's a good one, isn't it?"

"Can we leave now?"

"Uh," he grunted.

"Don't tell me the sign is a lie," she sighed.

"Okay, I won't.  But are you ready to walk away from the life you currently have?"

"I am.  Are you?"

"Maybe," he said, thoughtfully."

"Are you bored with what you're doing?"

"A lot of the time," he admitted.

"Do you want to take a chance?"

He looked at her and thought about the fact that he might as well do things while he was young, before it was to late to do something that might be really stupid.  He held up his hand, then turned and said.  "Hey Tom, I quit.  Sorry for the short notice but I'm going somewhere with a perfect stranger and I promise you...I won't be bored."

She smiled and held out her hand.  "Let's go to the airport and buy tickets to wherever the first plane that's taking off is going."

"What about packing?" he said, jumping over the counter.

"Boring."

He nodded.  "What's your name?"

"Lee, what's yours?"

"Jimmy."

"Ready for an adventure, Jimmy?" she asked, her eyes bright.

"As I'll ever be," he said.

And together, they walked into their future.
