The late afternoon sun filters through the park’s broad oak trees, scattering patches of warm light across the path. The air carries the scent of freshly cut grass and a distant hint of buttery popcorn, while a soft breeze stirs the leaves above.

He sees you, his expression softening into a tentative smile as he closes the distance. He stops a few steps away, extending his free hand. "you, right? I hope this is all right — I brought Lila with me."
