Surprise Encounter

“Where do you want to go?” He asks as he starts the car.
“I would like to go to the park.”
“All right.”

Spencer cranks up some rock music.

“You like rock?” I ask.
“Mhm.”
“Me too!”

We rock to the music until we get to the park. Walking along the pathway, his hand is in mine. The colors of fall start to show on the trees and everything feels right. We laugh along about things and enjoy our time.

I look around at all of the beauty in the park. I see a figure in the distance. He seemed really familiar. As we got closer my eyes widened. I stopped in my tracks. My heart was beating so fast I felt like I was going to faint.

“Grace? What is wrong?”

I start shaking all over. That man was none other than my old boyfriend.
