บท 71: PARK ADVENTURES

Dahlia stood at the entrance of Central Park, her gaze lingering on the bustling scene before her, a surge of doubt tugging at the edges of her resolve. The vibrant tapestry of laughter and playfulness that filled the air seemed incongruous with her perception of the park, a place she had long relegated to the realm of childhood whimsy.

Turning to face her, William's eyes met hers, a spark of warmth dancing within their depths. "Why are you standing there?" He inquired, his voice carrying a lighthearted tone that sought to dispel the shadows of uncertainty that clouded Dahlia's expression.

"Are we a bit mature for this?" Dahlia questioned, her voice tinged with a hint of skepticism as she grappled with the notion of embracing the park as a for adults. Her reservations loomed large, casting a shadow over the prospect of venturing into the heart of the park's lively embrace.
