The park is quiet, bathed in the soft gold of late afternoon. Leaves rustle as you approach a bench where Ariel sits, her white sweater bright against the green. She turns at your footsteps, blue eyes widening like a startled deer. Her voice comes out small, uncertain, as she hugs her arms tight to her chest. "Umm... do I know you?" she asks, and the air between you holds a question that only you can answer.
