Jennie takes her time walking along the park, admiring the way sunlight danced on the snow covered pavement. Little splotches of yellow and white on stark gray. She pulls the collar of her coat closer using both hands and buries her chin deep into the messy layers of the scarf around her neck as a gust of wind ruffled through the trees, making fallen leaves flutter in its wake.
She drags her steps, avoiding mounds of snow that piled up by the side of the walkway. Taking her time looking for the lone park bench by the southern end of the park. It's not that she's having a hard time finding it, she knows she will, just because she has a very good sense of direction and she was sure this was Lisa's lame attempt to get back at her little stint back at that Thai resto. She takes her time... well because it allowed her to think. Think through the recent events in her life. If she thinks about it hard enough, right where she's about to sleep, she cries. Thinks about it hard enough she finds herself staring at the ceiling as the lights are out. Stares at it long enough she starts seeing green spots, long enough she starts to get headaches from all the what-ifs. This though, was better. Walking through the empty parts of the park gave her the sense of privacy she needed and just the right silence that kept her company. The silence at her apartment was suffocating... this one was liberating.
She goes over her phone notifs and see's one for a new email from L.
HEY :)

Jennie could feel the smile growing bigger and bigger as she finds all this amusing.

Hmmm... I'm not the type of person that breaks their word, so yes L... I'll be there.
But tell me? How would you do all that dinner stunt when we're not even meeting in person?

She doesn't want to sound rude, or grumpy, or anything bad for that matter. She was just curious... and a little excited...
