There are some days that Florence feels the world is against her, in every aspect, and her heart pounds in her chest due to the anxiety. Sitting on the bench at her local park with the breeze in her face helps, however, and the deep intakes of air calm some of her nerves. She feels silly and like she’s a kid that didn’t get their fair share of candy, but the feeling is still there when she thinks of other things to revert her mind. Family issues have always run deep and no matter how many times she’s tried to prevent them when some distant relative had visited, it never ended well.
The sky is dark—a little something on her part—dampening her mood as she loathes alone. Her day had been free, with no shoots of any kind and no night classes because it was the weekend. There were a lot of possibilities for the evening and the last thing she expected was her family to run amok. It was a waste.
Florence doesn’t notice the presence of a man around until a little later, until her head lifts up and she stares at her surroundings. The trees were always a sight to look at, the way the leaves contrasted with its bark. She had been tearing up, not technically crying as she would put it, and puts her hands up to rub her eyes. She was never a fan of showing herself in a state of sorrow and quickly musters herself up. Her eyes avert to the man, curious and shows a smile as a greeting when they share eye contact.
