Issa and I start walking along the path in the park. We pass a playground with lots of kids jumping around and laughing.
"So where do you live?" Issa asks me, breaking the silence.
"Just a half hour from here," I answer, shoving my hands into my pockets. I immediately feel my phone in my right pocket and pull it out to check the time. 5:05. I guess that I could come home at like 7 or 8.
"Oh?" Issa looks at me intently, hoping for more information.
"It's a small town," I continue awkwardly. "You wouldn't know it."
"I don't know anything about New York," Issa tells me.
I duck my head and blush. I don't know why, but I just feel really awkward and embarrassed for being with a guy that I had a crush on that was an adult, therefore, it's never gonna happen.
I look at my feet for a pretty long time as we walk for about 10 minutes with an extremely awkward silence between us.
I feel something grab my hand.
And I look up.
