The next morning, you wake back up on Edd's couch. You leave shortly after waking up. You decided it would be best to go somewhere to clear your mind, so you go to the park.
You sit on a bench and think. You think about Tord and what he did. You knew you'd never forgive him, you hated him for what he did. You never wanted to see him again, but a part of you hoped you did. You wanted to ask him why.
You had both been through so much together. You just didn't understand why he did it. You wanted answers, if you ever did see him again, that's all you would ask.
You look over at the pond and see a few ducks. You had some bread in your purse for whatever reason. Emergency snack I guess??
Anyways, you walk over to the pond and tear a slice of bread into pieces. You tossed a few pieces in the pond, near the ducks. You kept a good distance from the water. Ever since the incident, you were nervous around bodies of water, especially when driving over them.
As you feed the ducks, a man walks by you. He stands a few feet away from you. He pulls out a bag of bread crumbs and tosses them to a few ducks on land.
"You come here often?" He asks, not taking his eyes off the ducks. You look at him slightly as you shake your head.
"No, I don't." You reply as you look back at the pond.
"Oh? Why not?" He asks.
"Bodies of water give me anxiety, a few years ago my ex-husband drove me off a bridge." You reply.
Silence.
"Sorry, I don't mean to overshare."
"It's quite alright, I'm sorry that happened to you. My name's Paul." He says, finally looking at you as he introduces himself to you.
"Y/n" you respond. "Well y/n, you must be quite strong to have survived all that." Paul says.
You shrug. "Thanks, I guess. Truly, it was just luck." You say. Paul doesn't touch on the subject anymore than that.
"Well Y/n, have a good day." Paul says with a small smile before walking away.
You walk home shortly after. You probably should've been more weird out by the encounter, but for some reason you weren't. When you get home, you take your shoes off. You walk over to Bob's tank and feed him.
You sit on your couch and relax, knowing you were safe in your own home. You check the time, it's nearly noon. You thought about going out to eat, but you just got home. Then again, a caeser salad sounds REAL good right now. (Seriously, I really want a Caesar salad oh my god.)
You stand back up and put your shoes back on. You walk out of your apartment and eventually make it to your local grocery store, which ironically you work at. You grab a Caesar salad and walk to the self-checkout.
After you pay, you walk out and go home. You could've sworn you saw somebody in a hoodie following you, but you tried to ignore it.
When you get home, you lock your door and all your windows, just to be safe. You sit down on your couch and eat your sale while watching TV.

Update for a question:
Would you guys rather have longer chapters or short chapters?
Longer chapters means I post less, shorter means I most more
