It was late, almost midnight, and everybody had gone off to sleep. It had been a cold, breezy day with intermediate spells of sunshine at the park where a group of friends had enjoyed a delicious barbeque meal earlier. There was fun, frolic and laughter as the gang de-stressed after a grilling week of final exams. But there was someone in the group who was only pretending to be happy. Nobody knew what was going on in her mind as she was good at hiding her feelings. Let's call her Jill. It had been a tough day for Jill because among the group of friends was a guy (let's name him Brad), someone she loved very deeply but who wouldn't even talk to her due to a huge fight that had occurred between them a few days ago.
During sunset, she had finally gathered the courage to talk to him and explain herself. The spot where they stood couldn't have been more beautiful. A vast lake in front of them, green grass behind and they walked together on sand as she tried to start a conversation. It was ironic how romantic the place was, especially when she could sense the aloof attitude of her former paramour. He told her with a straight face, that they would talk later at night so that it didn't create a scene in front of their friends.
