I wasn't sure.. I love views from above but am terrified of heights, physically and I had a few twangs reading this. It turned out well though, so my anxiety was misplaced, but the tension kept me reading.

Funnily enough I'm scared of heights too - which I strangely didn't think of when writing this!

Aah you did it again, Richard! Just when I thought, 'hmm don't think this one will land for me', took me right up onto that roof, feeling the taste of that rain and the warmth of that hand in mine. Bravo!

¡Gracias! Me encanta Nueva York pero, al igual que tú, ha pasado demasiado tiempo desde la última vez que estuve allí...
