Like I was still figuring out who I actually was underneath all the performance.
"There," Miles said, pointing ahead. "The park."
I could see it now. A green oasis in the middle of all this brick and concrete. Iron gates, old trees, paths winding through grass. Not huge, but very well-maintained.
We entered through the gates, and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. Shade from the trees, maybe. Or just the psychological effect of green space.
"Want to find somewhere to sit?" Miles asked.
"Sure."
We followed a path that curved around a small pond. Ducks paddled near the edge, and an old man sat on a bench throwing bread even though a sign explicitly said not to feed the wildlife.
