It was a nice afternoon. The sky was slowly taking on a dark blue hue, as the air cooled down to a comfortable temperature. Melanie was walking down the path she always took when she needed to cool down after a long day. It was indeed a good path for that. A small stream ran parallel to it for some time. In the distance, you could see some pastures where sheep dwelled. Whenever she was on this path, she could just let all her worries go for a while and fully enjoy the moment. She stopped for a moment, so she could look up at the sky, marvelling at the beautiful colours of early nightfall, hear the water splashing in the stream next to her and smell the... Her thoughts came to a halt. That smell was out of place, but also familiar somehow. It was a pleasant smell and she found herself wanting to find out where it came from.
Without much thought, she continued walking so she could get closer to its source. When she turned around a corner, her sneaking suspicion confirmed itself. It was indeed some guy smoking weed on a bench near the path. At first she just smirked as she noticed that she had just abandoned her peaceful contemplation and walked on the second she smelled weed in the air. She liked to smoke weed sometimes, but she didn't think of herself as being that into it. It did smell great though. As she finished her thought, she found herself again walking toward the source of the smell. Even worse, the stranger was now making eye-contact with her.
"Shit," she thought to herself, "If I turn around now, I'm gonna look like the biggest weirdo". So she walked up to the bench and asked if she could join him.
"Sure," he answered. He took another drag from the joint before holding it toward her. "You want some?"
"Yeah...Thanks," she answered in the most polite tone of voice she could. Normally, she would never just go up to someone expecting to get some of their weed, but she might as well accept it, if he was offering it. Plus, it still smelled so good. She took a drag and already felt her body relaxing.
