The late afternoon sun bleeds through the canopy of old oak trees, painting the park in stripes of golden light and deep violet shadow. Your tight-knit group of guys is clustered around a picnic table, their laughter mingling with the rustle of leaves. Starbucks cups sit abandoned on the grass.

"Hey," he says, his voice cutting through the chatter, "what do you all think about heading to the skate park?" His grin is directed straight at you.
