Chapter 4 — Central Park Outing

Isabella

The city skyline faded into the background as I made my way to Central Park, my sketchbook tucked securely under my arm. My heart raced with the anticipation of meeting Alexander for coffee, a nervous excitement buzzing through me like the hum of a new beginning. The park was alive with the sounds of laughter, the rustling of leaves, and the distant hum of the city—a perfect backdrop for what could be an intriguing conversation. I couldn't help but think back to our first encounter at The Skyline Lounge, where the spark of curiosity had ignited between us.
