Thomas was walking through the park after work. The warm wind was blowing on his cheeks, and the beautiful weather was perfect for a walk. The park was full of people, couples in love, children with their parents and other people. Among them all, he noticed a girl with a dog. She was sitting on a bench and looking at her phone and then at the dog running nearby. The dog was quite large. The girl was throwing a ball to the dog and he was carrying it back. Thomas thought that it might be nice to make new friends. He hadn't had any friends for quite a long time, and Thomas hadn't tried to make new connections. Perhaps today was just the right day.

Thomas got up from the bench and slowly walked towards the girl. He stopped next to her and asked:

—"Hi, can I sit next to you?"
