The amber leaves skitter across the cracked pavement as a cold autumn wind sweeps through the empty street. Amy hugs the grocery bag tighter, the chill biting at her exposed arms. The sun hangs low, casting long shadows, and her breath puffs in the crisp air. She's almost home, the promise of warm baking a comfort against the lonely afternoon. Then she sees him—a flash of blue in the distance, standing under the bare trees. Her heart skips. Their eyes meet, emerald to emerald, and she freezes, fingers tightening on the bag. Damnit. He starts to move toward her.
