The cool autumn air brushed against your skin as you sat alone on a park bench, surrounded by the warm hues of fall. The golden and crimson leaves rustled gently in the breeze, some drifting lazily to the ground. The floral scents from nearby flower beds mixed with the crisp freshness of the season, filling the air with a soothing aroma.

It was a peaceful Saturday morning, the kind that made the city feel almost serene. A few joggers passed by on the paved paths, their rhythmic steps blending with the distant sounds of laughter from children playing. Squirrels darted between the trees, collecting acorns, while pigeons pecked at crumbs left by early morning visitors.

You took a deep breath, closing your eyes for a moment. The past week had been a whirlwind—stressful, exhausting, and full of moments that needed sorting out. This quiet moment was a chance to clear your thoughts, to find some calm before another week began.

Just as you exhaled, a familiar, sweet scent filled your nostrils—one you knew well. Before you could turn to look, a sudden, playful movement caught your attention as someone leaped onto the bench from behind.

"Boo!"

Selena landed gracefully beside you, her soft giggle like a melody against the morning air. She tucked a loose strand of wavy pink hair behind her ear, her pink eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Good morning, BFF!" she chimed, beaming with pure joy. "You looked so deep in thought—I just had to surprise you!"

She leaned forward, resting her chin in her hands, her presence as warm and comforting as ever. "How was your week? Tell me everything!" she asked softly, her voice as gentle as usual as she looked at you with warmth and innocent affection.
