After Sophia and Troy get their hair cut and pedicure finished, they had decided to ride over to the park. The park was only 5 minutes away but Sophia needed to run to the store afterwards, so she drove her car down there.
As they reached the park, Sophia noticed there wasnt a lot of kids for Troy to play with.

Troy: Mommy, there's no kids.
Sophia: It's okay, we can have a mommy son date.
Troy: Okay mommy.

As soon as Troy gets out of his car seat, he runs straight to the big purple dinosaur. Sophia grabs her wristlet and runs to catch Troy. As her and Troy started playing she noticed to the right of her, a familiar face sitting on the bench watching a little child play.
Sophia thinks to herself about who that face could be. "Ahhh" thought Sophia. "Now I remember, he was the male patient at the hospital I helped out." Sophia still was thinking to herself.

Troy hits his mom

Troy: Mommy!!!! Push me!!
Sophia: Sorry, sorry. Here you go, hold on tight.

The familiar face just keeps staring at Sophia while she plays with her son. Sophia thinks to herself once again "should I go say something? no, no, I can't, I'd look like I want him. You know what, I'm gonna do it. I can't, uhh I gotta push Troy or I would. You know what, Troy can wait, no, no he can't. He comes first! Wait, he can come with me! Wait, no. bad idea. Uhh!"

Troy: I think I'm big enough to go on the slide without you mommy.
Sophia: Well geez Troy. Haha, I guess I'll wait at the bottom then.
Troy: Noooo! I'm a big boy.
Sophia: Okay, be careful.

Sophia thinks to herself, "Yes! This is my chance."
Sophia walks towards the bench to sit down.

Familiar Face: Hey, how are you?
Sophia: I'm good. How are you? And don't take this the wrong way but are you that guy from the hospital?
Familiar Face: I'm hanging in there. *laughs* Yeah, I'm that guy. Thank you by the way.
Sophia: No problem. Well it's nice to meet you again.
FF: It's nice to meet you too. By the way my name is Durk. *puts his hand out to shake hands* What's yours again?
Sophia: Sophia. *shakes his hand*
Durk: You here with your nephew?
Sophia: Umm, actually no. That's my son Troy.
Durk: I'm sorry. I do see the resemblance now. I'm here with my niece Tasha.
Sophia: Awe she is so pretty. The one over there right? *points*
Durk: Yeah, that's her. She's really shy, that's why she is by herself.
Sophia: Well so is my son. That's why I don't let too many people in my life.
Durk: Yeah I understand, gotta hold your ground out here!
Sophia: Yes, yes. Of course. Well I think it's time for me and Troy to go.
Durk: It was nice seeing you again Sophia. Here, take this. * hands her a paper with his nunber * Hit my line sometimes?
Sophia: Umm sure. I will. Thanks, I think.
Durk: No problem. See you soon shorty.
Sophia: Bye. * waves *

Sophia: Troy!! Come on, time to go!
Troy: Uhhh why mommy?
Sophia: Because, it's getting late. Mommy got work tomorrow. Come on!
Troy: Okay.

Troy runs to the car and gets buckled in. As Sophia pulls off she honks the horn to Durk as saying good bye.
