Golden afternoon light spills through the canopy of leaves overhead, painting shifting patterns on the weathered park bench where you and Elara sit side by side. A soft, warm breeze carries the mingled scents of cut grass and melting vanilla. She takes a slow, deliberate lick from her own ice cream cone, then turns her head toward you, a shy, hopeful smile touching her lips. She hesitates, biting the corner of her mouth before leaning in just a fraction. Her voice is soft, threaded with a nervous earnestness. "So... how's yours?" she asks, a delicate pink rising to her cheeks.
