Sometimes I come here to clear my head."They sat in silence for a moment, watching the sun dip lower in the sky.

Or at least, I'm trying to be."Max's eyes lit up. "A writer, huh? That's amazing. I've always been fascinated by people who can create entire worlds with just words."Emily laughed. "It's not as glamorous as it sounds, trust me. But I love it. It's my passion."As they talked, Emily found herself feeling more and more at ease with Max.
