#75 - "I was just thinking about you."
The coolness of the Spring breeze dances over him as he saunters through the park on his way home. The Winter had been long and hard, with the relentless storms and frigid temperatures. The warmth that Spring provides seemed like only a myth of an event that used to occur, but it soon prevailed in the coming months bringing with it longer days and life that bloomed all around.
The melting of the snow and ice created many puddles that litters the pathway. The chirping of the birds fills the air while the presence of small mammals, that awoke from hibernation, scurries across the muddy fields in search for their next meal.
Vibrant greens of buds from the tree branches are visible and are the meals of a couple of birds that perch themselves into it, pecking at the bundle with their sharp beaks.
There was only one tree, with a light pink hue, in the entire park at hat tree was his favourite. It was the only reason he takes the route through the park even if it is a longer travel for him. His dark eyes, a shade not meant for the life Spring brought in its wake, land on the tree and they stay on it, enchanted by its mere presence, as he makes his way down the path. The branches are still naked, but it is blooming with little buds of rich pink.
With his eyes still captivated by the tree in bloom, he does not see the puddle in front of him and walks straight into it. Though it is warm from the sun, the puddle is not as it soaks through his boot and sock, meeting his skin as he curses under this breath. Taking a step back, he tries to shake the water off from his boot. A few drops fly off and lands on the ground, but there is nothing he can do about the mini puddle he now has in his boot.
His phone vibrates in his pocket and he pulls it out, checking the caller ID before answering. He smirks when he reads the name, sliding the green phone symbol across the screen before placing it against his ear. Dark eyes land back on the tree with a soft glance as he says: "I was just thinking about you."
