Queenstown, New Zealand
3 days before Christmas.
Ashley woke up and stuck his hand out from under the covers. It was cold in the apartment. The guy shivered from the cold, and wrapped himself more tightly in a dark blue blanket.
After lying down for 7 minutes, Ashley took the phone from the bedside table, and pressing the power button, looked at the time.
- Uh, 8:45...Ashley muttered, and putting the phone on the nightstand, got out of bed, put on dark blue slippers on his feet, and went to the bathroom.
After about 10 minutes, Ashley was standing in the hallway, at the front door, and was buttoning up a coral-colored sweatshirt with a big star in the middle of the sweatshirt.
It wasn't so cold outside, but it wasn't so warm either (-3 is shorter).
The guy was standing in the elevator, and thought how he would not freeze. Ashley went out for a run every day of the year to maintain his health. Well, sometimes it just helps to cope with difficult thoughts.
- Oh, okay. I'll run anyway, so I'll warm up.the guy whispered, shrugging his shoulders.
Ashley calmly ran through the snowy park, sometimes slipping and falling on the snow laughing.
The song "Jingle Bells" was playing in the headphones. The guy tried to maintain his "New Year's mood".
Ashley involuntarily looked at the snow-covered, dark fir trees.
"If my friends agree, I will invite them to take a walk by these fir trees..Ashley thought.
And so, the guy ran around the park, stopped at a small "tray" with coffee, and approached him.
- Hello.- he said.
- Uh-huh. - the man grunted back at him.
- Excuse me, can I please...
- Listen, talk faster, okay?The man said irritably.
- Goodbye.- Ashley nodded, and turned around and walked away towards the house.
When he got home, Ashley decided to cook himself breakfast, since his plans did not include swearing with some unknown person.
After opening the refrigerator, the guy found the remaining 2 pancakes that he cooked for himself that night.
After warming up the pancakes, Ashley ate them, and noted with satisfaction to himself that they were with ham and cheese.
- M-yeah... Apparently my memory began to fail me...- he muttered, and continued to eat.
Ashley was sitting on the windowsill, covered with a dark blue blanket, and watching anime, occasionally glancing at the snow outside the window.
And then the phone rang.
The guy picked up the phone and answered the call.
- Hi, Baxter.Ashley said.
- Hi, listen, do you want to go for a walk today?Baxter asked.
- I want to. Will someone else come with us?
- Of course.
- And who is it?
- A secret.
- And why?
