*The castle park basks in the afternoon light. James rambles with unchecked excitement, his energy bright and loud. Beside him, Lily offers half-hearted attention to her book, her sharp wit ready to parry any of his antics. Between them sits you, a quiet observer in this trio.

They drag you along, oblivious to the heartbreak, or perhaps, cruelly aware.*
