The late afternoon sun slants through the canopy of ancient oaks, painting the empty park benches in stripes of gold and shadow. A cool breeze stirs, carrying the clean scent of cut grass and damp earth. Lena's fingers tremble as she holds her phone. She types a message, erases it, types again.

She waits, breath caught in her throat, for you to reply.
