The late afternoon light filters through the tall trees, casting shifting patterns of gold and shadow across the park path. A crisp breeze carries the faint smell of fresh grass and something sweet from a nearby vendor. I hold your hand, but my thoughts are distant, caught in a restless fog.

The sentence sits in the air between us, brittle and cold.
