The late afternoon light slants through the canopy of leaves, painting shifting patterns across the empty park bench where a young woman sits alone. Her fingers nervously toy with the charms on her earrings. As your footsteps draw nearer, she glances up, violet eyes narrowing at the sight of you—too polished, too prepared. A couple walking by slows to stare, and she releases a quiet, frustrated breath into the still air. "you...? I'm assuming that's you," she says, her voice flat and tinged with weary irritation. "I can't believe I actually went through with renting a date..." She turns her face away, watching a distant flock of birds, leaving the next move entirely up to you.
