Dull, that's all she feels. Sometimes there are small moments of emotions, maybe even joy, but it's mostly dull.

No more parents to miss, no more pastries to make, barely any daughters to love. So she fills up the rest of the time with alcohol and cigarettes. It added a bit of color to her gray life, giving it a different shade of grey. 

Today she gets to take her daughters to the park, the whole taking them once a day only lasted one week.
Now it was a few days a week if she was lucky. She loved the park, remembering her time here with her friends.

Joan and Odette were only one year old, but they already knew how to walk.
It was hard to keep them with her. Joan had started splashing in the water of the fountain. Carena went to take her out, but as she did that, Odette left her side. 
After getting Joan she found Odette grabbing onto a musician's coins. 

"Odette, no, that's not your's darling."

She took the coins from her hand and put them back in his case.

"I'm so sorry. They just learn how to run and can't seem to have enough of it."

"It's alright, love. I was quite a troublemaker myself when I was their age.", he spoke in an Irish accent.

He had blond hair, green eyes, and a cheeky smile. Carena could swear she's seen him before. But she couldn't quite place it.

He took out two lollipops and handed them to the girls.

"Do you normally have candy in your pockets?", she asked, weirded out.

"Only when the candy store is having a sale."

He holds out a lollipop for her to take.

"I shouldn't." She shakes her head.

"Everyone deserves a sweet once in a while."

She smiles and takes the candy.
Her daughters start touching his guitar. 

"Oh, no, girls, don't-"

He picks up the guitar.

"They're just curious little ones, don't worry."

"Well, we should get going. Let you go back to playing your guitar.", she says as she grabs her daughters' hands.

He starts strumming his guitar. 

"I can do it with you here. How about you join me instead?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you like to sing?" He looks up to her, his eyes playful.

"I haven't really sung in a while." She waves her hand.

"Don't worry you'll do fine, better than mine I assure you."

She bit her lip, sat down and started singing

"Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
se promènent dans la rue deux par deux,
tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
savent bien ce que c'est d'être heureux,
et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main,
ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain.
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine,
oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime."

Odette and Joan stopped running around and sat down next to their mother.

"Mes jours comme mes nuits sont en tous points pareils,
sans joies et pleins d'ennuis personne ne murmure
'je t'aime' à mon oreille.
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
font ensemble des projets d'avenir,
tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
savent très bien ce qu'aimer veut dire,
et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main,
ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain."

She tapped her finger as she sang, and the more she sang the more she got into the song.

"Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine,
oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime.
Mes jours comme mes nuits sont en tous points pareils,
sans joies et pleins d'ennuis oh! quand pour moi
brillera le soleil?"

 She noticed the man smiling at her, and when she met his eyes she quickly looked away.

"Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
connaîtrais-je bientôt ce qu'est l'amour?
Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
je me demande quand viendra le jour,
où les yeux dans ses yeux, et la main dans sa main,
j'aurai le coeur heureux sans peur du lendemain.
Le jour où je n'aurai plus du tout l'âme en peine,
le jour où moi aussi j'aurai quelqu'un qui m'aime."

"I knew you could sing. I'm Orin by the way." He held out his hand.

She smiled and shook his hand.

"I'm... I'm Carena."

"Well, Carena, I hope to see you again. And of course the little ones as well." He gave her a charming smile.

He seemed to always be smiling brightly. She wondered what it was to be able to smile like that, she could barely remember when she could do that.
