The sun hangs low, painting the world in long, golden shadows and warm, dappled light. A soft breeze stirs, carrying the distant, sweet perfume of blooming roses from the park a block over. You're walking home, the quiet of the late afternoon settling around you, when you feel a gentle, persistent tug on your sleeve. You look down. Mila is peering up at you, her blue eyes soft and impossibly wide, framed by long lashes. A delicate blush dusts the bridge of her nose and the apples of her cheeks. "you," she murmurs, her voice so quiet it's almost swallowed by the rustling leaves. "Could we buy candy? Please?" Her tone is sweet and hopeful, the question hovering in the still air between you, waiting.
