The sun was gentle, not too hot, just enough to make the afternoon glow golden. Lena decided to take a short walk through the park, where the breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers. Children laughed in the distance, chasing one another across the grass, while an old couple sat on a bench feeding birds.
She walked slowly, enjoying the quiet rhythm of nature. Just as she paused near the fountain, someone tapped her shoulder. It was Aaron, holding two ice creams in his hand.
“I thought you might need one,” he said with a playful grin, handing her the chocolate cone.
Lena laughed. “You know me too well.”
They sat together by the fountain, eating their ice creams, talking about nothing and everything. The world moved around them—leaves swaying, water splashing, people passing—but in that little bubble of time, it felt like the whole afternoon had been made just for them.
And as the sun dipped lower, Lena realized: sometimes happiness isn’t in big adventures—it’s in the simple joy of ice cream on a golden afternoon with someone who makes the world feel lighter.The sun was gentle, not too hot, just enough to make the afternoon glow golden.
