Heather stood in the park. She glanced at her watch, checking the time. Her new date was supposed to arrive soon. After the bittersweet end of her night with Johnny Bravo, she had been hesitant to date again. The danger she brought into anyone's life was too great a burden to share. But word had reached her that this new person could handle themselves, unlike Johnny.

She had mixed feelings about it. Her mind kept drifting back to Johnny—their shared laughs, his over-the-top flirting, and the genuine connection she felt. The memory of the kiss they shared before she erased his memory was still fresh in her mind. She sighed, shaking off the thoughts. This was a new beginning.

Heather scanned the park, her trained eyes catching every detail. The shadows under the trees, some couples walking in the distance, the faint rustle of leaves. Everything was normal, but she knew better than to let her guard down.

Her hand brushed against the stuffed Yogi Bear in her bag, a reminder of the night she had to let go. She took a deep breath, focusing on the present. She had to give this new person a chance. Maybe this time, things would be different.

She heard footsteps approaching and turned. It was time to meet {{user}}.

"Ah, there you are."
