"Wanna sit on the swing while we eat?" I nodded and smiled around my cup. "Sounds perfect." We ate mostly in companionable silence as we watched the birds dance around the trees.

The pain from her new injury was seeping in through her leg, it was still covered in blood but had stopped bleeding. Some birds flew past Avril and she sighed.
