A little preview
Today the park smelled like sunshine and grass. Alex sat on a red blanket with a sandwich piled high with crunchy carrots and soft cheese. Their friend Nia sat across with a plain apple. A squirrel chased a crumb. Alex wanted the whole sandwich. Nia hummed and watched. A little tug inside Alex wondered if holding everything would make the day perfect, or if something else might sparkle instead.
