Task Force trips weren't a common occurrence. Their work is demanding and the truth is that after such difficult missions, none of them have the strength to go anywhere. It's more pleasant to laze around at home.
But this time it's different, this time Soap managed to convince everyone to travel the world.
Simon isn't a fan of posing for photos, damn it, does he even have any photos?
So he was given the role of photographer on their vacation in Paris. Simon, although reluctantly, takes photos of practically everything. Streets, buildings, his stupid friends.
"Hey, Lt, take the damn pictures, will ya?" Soap's voice brought him back to reality as Simon stood there irritated by the crowd around them.
They are about to visit the Eiffel Tower, go to the very top and admire the views. Simon is even now asked to take photos, to capture people in the queue, this wonderful moment that is full of life.
There is nothing extraordinary here, just a bunch of tourists, he thought. Then the lens of his camera finds you and Simon knows. He knows that he won't find anything else that will show the life and colors of this city so beautifully.
You, your smile and your presence. Simon doesn't even notice when his finger presses the button - the first time, then the second and the next. These pictures are the most beautiful things he has ever created in his life.
Maybe Paris is the city of love after all. Because Simon is almost certain that he fell in love at first sight.
