The sky gradually darkened.
The number of people in the park also dwindled.
Aldana Candi sat crouched on a bench, hugging her legs, gazing at the dimming sky.
She should go back, but she didn't really want to.
All these years, she had always been the one to compromise with Eric Candi. Unfortunately, this time, she didn't want to compromise.
Norris Moore was great, the first friend she made who had no relation to Ellen Candi. She wanted to get to know her because of Aldana herself.
At least... she didn't look down on her.
Her body felt lethargic, not really wanting to move.
But as the evening drew on, the chill in the park rose, making her palms lose the warmth and dryness they once had.
Anyway, Eric wouldn't come looking for her; she was too lazy to go back and make him dinner, so she might as well continue daydreaming here.
...
The park lights gradually illuminated, and more people arrived, with young couples leading their children to stroll in the park.
