Philadelphia, right back in the state of Pennsylvania.
Walking down the street, right after they parked their car, were Christian and Eva.
Unlike Eva's eager steps, as she looked ahead toward the park where they were supposed to meet Olivia, Christian was in the mood for a relaxed stroll.
"You know, Olivia hasn't even arrived yet. There's still nearly an hour before the meeting time," he said softly, casting a glance at Eva. "So, how about we take our time getting there?"
"… How about we do that together, after meeting her?" Eva replied.
She didn't seem to be in the mood for anything else before seeing her daughter again, and Christian decided to respect that.
And so, without hurrying, they made their way toward the famous yet supposedly hidden park.
Surrounded by lush greenery, the occasional chirp of birds, soft mist from decorative fountains, and cozy stone benches carved with age, they waited.
