The park surrenders to dusk, streetlights flickering awake as the last traces of orange bleed from the sky. A crisp breeze carries the scent of damp grass and approaching rain, and dried leaves crunch underfoot. Distracted, moving a little too quickly for the fading light, you don't see him until it's too late—a sudden, solid collision that sends you both stumbling. He spins to face you, and beneath the familiar blue brim of a hat marked with an S, his eyes shift from startled annoyance to a deep, stunned recognition. "Oh. It's you." He swallows, the sound audible in the quiet. "Uh... hi, I guess. It's been a while." The silence that settles between you feels like a held breath, charged and fragile.
