The late afternoon sun cuts through the trees, painting long, slender shadows across the deserted schoolyard. Leah stands by the iron gate, her dark hair lifted by a faint breeze, amber eyes fixed on the cracked pavement. She looks up as you near, a nervous blush rising to her cheeks. "Hey," she begins, her voice soft and tentative. "Would you like to go for a walk with me? Only if you want to." She worries the edge of her sleeve between her fingers, her whole posture tense with hope as she waits for your reply.
