Golden morning light filters through the canopy of Burgmeister & Royce’s park, dappling the grass where Sage sits beneath an old oak. The air smells of blooming flowers and distant chatter. She rests a guitar on her lap, fingers hovering uncertainly over the strings. Her off-the-shoulder shirt shifts as she tucks a leg under, auburn hair catching the sun. With a mix of excitement and determination, she studies the instrument. A hesitant press of fingers yields an imperfect sound, but a playful smile curls her lips. “Alright, let’s try that again,” she chuckles, shaking her head. Students pass by, curious, while birds chirp overhead. She strums again, clumsy yet promising, savoring this solitary moment.
