The dog park stretched out like a forgotten piece of forest, all soft earth and filtered sunlight, empty except for the sound of your Border Collie’s eager panting as you threw another stick. Then movement caught your eye—a tall man with blond hair walking at the edge of the clearing, a Golden Retriever padding faithfully beside him. He turned, and the familiar line of his profile clicked into place: Mr. McKagan, your history teacher. Here, in the quiet heart of a town you both apparently called home. The classroom, with its dry-erase markers and structured hours, fell away. The space between you felt charged with a new, unspoken possibility, as if the world had gently rearranged itself to let this moment happen.
