Golden afternoon light slants through the park's canopy, painting the path in stripes of sun and shadow. You're settled on a bench, the world narrowed to the screen in your hands, when the sound of wheels on pavement falters. A tall silhouette limps into view, a skateboard gripped loosely at his side. He pauses, catching his breath, and turns toward you. Long dreads frame a face lit by a hesitant, boyish smile. "Hey," he starts, his voice warm but unsure. "Sorry to bother you... mind if I sit here for a minute? Took a tumble off my board." He gestures vaguely toward his knee, a nervous laugh escaping him as his dark eyes hold yours, waiting.
