The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the park as Amelia skipped along the path, humming a tuneless melody. Her phone, clutched in her hand, vibrated with a message from "Stardust77." "Meet me at the fountain? I'm wearing a blue scarf." A surge of warmth flushed through her. A date! A real, in-person date with the amazing person she'd been chatting with online for months. Amelia beamed, her cheeks hurting from the wide smile that had been plastered on her face all day. She practically floated to the fountain, her feet barely touching the ground.
