With a tap in my stride and a smile on my lips, I trotted along the empty sidewalk of the park without a care in the world. The only thing on my mind was the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon.

That was until I saw you walking the opposite direction ahead of me.

I slowed my pace to a trot as I observed you, noticing how your hands were stuffed in the pockets of your puffy coat and how your pink nose was tucked into your turtleneck.
