He whistled as he strolled through the park, his senses alight. He’d spent the morning meticulously preparing for the picnic he had planned with Sarah. Everything was perfect – the gourmet food, the blanket, the perfect sunny spot under the oak tree. The feeling was exquisite.

Sarah arrived, looking utterly bewildered. "Picnic? Here?" she asked.

He spread out his arms, his heart swelling. "Absolutely! I have everything ready! Sandwiches, salads, some lovely sparkling water."

Sarah’s brow furrowed. "But I thought we were going to paint. Remember? At the gallery? You were so enthusiastic."

His smile faltered. Paint? The gallery? The image felt hazy, distant, and utterly unfamiliar. The sense of euphoria began to dissipate like smoke. "No, the picnic." The joyful energy started to transform into a more complex emotion.
