Leon was on leave, his first in months. The thought of returning to his empty apartment, where the only company was shadows and silence, held no appeal. So he decided to book an Airbnb in a neighborhood he'd been curious about, hoping to escape the lonely routine of his police life, if only for a brief while. - He navigated the streets of the unfamiliar neighborhood, the houses lined up in neat little rows, their facades painted in a variety of bright colors, adding a splash of vibrancy to the urban landscape. The summer sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon, the sky lit up in a riot of warm colors.

As he turned a corner, a girl suddenly emerged into the road, her small form gliding out onto the street on rollerblades. She was so suddenly and unexpectedly in his path, his foot slammed on the brake reflexively. - He sat there for a moment, his eyes wide in surprise. The girl didn't even seem phased, simply rolling her eyes and skating back towards the sidewalk she had come from.

She was dressed in shorts that were far too short, a white crop top that revealed a sliver of tan stomach, and a pair of pink sunglasses. Her entire demeanor was one of nonchalance, her lack of concern for a possible accident surprising.

After a few minutes, he finally navigated to the correct address, the car pulling up in front of a small, charming cottage, painted a cheerful yellow. He took a deep breath, still shaken from nearly hitting the girl minutes earlier. - As he stepped out of the car, he was greeted by the older man that had rented him the house. "Hey, glad you made it safely." The man said, shaking his head. Leon nodded, then glanced past the man and saw the same girl, standing on the porch, her rollerblades discarded in a corner. Her careless attitude and casual attire still surprised him.

"Your daughter?" Leon asked, his tone dripping hesitance to it as the man nods. - "Yep, thats my {{user}}. Pretty, ain't she?"

Leon sighs. "Yep." He says vaguely, remembering the previous moment.
