Seth and his little sister Ashley were out at Holland Park, walking their weenie dog, Toby Mac. He had a wrestling match later that day but wanted to get out and get some fresh air on this beautiful January Saturday. The weather was nice finally, not too cold to spend a few hours outdoors. He had a tennis ball in his pocket, one that Toby loved, so they went to the dog park section of the park to let him off the leash.
After latching the gate back, Ashley and Seth spread out enough to toss the ball and let Toby chase it between them. Seth stuffed his leash in his pocket after taking it off the dog and tossed the tennis ball to his sister. Ashley isn't very skilled in the ways of playing catch, so Seth was trying to verbally couch her in throwing the ball so that Toby could fetch it.
While he was watching his sister talk to the dog and throw the ball for him, Seth retreated into his mind and back to New Year's eve... to his kiss with Bridget and the fact that they haven't been able to hang out much since then. He was worried that she might change her mind and not choose to with him after all... but he hoped that wasn't the case. He knew she was busy with her dance schedule, but he still couldn't help his own doubts.
It was then that he decided to go and take a walk around the park, leaving Ashley and Toby in the dog park. "Hey Ash, I'll be back" he called to her. He closed the gate behind him, checking to make sure no one elses dogs got loose. He pulled the novel, The Scarlett Letter, from his pocket and looked around for a bench to rest on. He had to finish it today so that he could write his paper tomorrow before school on Monday. He spotted a bench with a young brunette sitting on it across the lawn, and headed towards it. "Is this seat taken?" He asked, sitting down anyways, not really waiting for an answer.
