the crunch of leaves behind me frightened me a bit.
i wondered who could possibly be here at this time of night?
besides me?
i didn't turn and look, though, until i smelled the scent of almond and milk and honey.
i turned to see a brown girl with her brown, tight curls.
she looked at me and blinked once with her thick, long lashes and her innocent brown eyes.
"i'm london."
