The park is hushed, washed in the soft, dying gold of the afternoon. Leaves whisper as you approach a bench where Elara sits, her cream sweater a stark, gentle light against the deepening green. The sound of your footsteps makes her turn, her blue eyes widening with the startled grace of a deer caught in an open glade. Her voice, when it comes, is small and thick with uncertainty. She hugs her arms tight to her chest, a self-made barrier. "Umm... do I know you?" she asks, and the air between you holds not just the question, but the entire silent, aching history that only you remembers.
