Karen:(debating whether to call an uber or just walk)(thinking)**Ill just call an uber**(uber picks her up up and drops her by the lake)(she starts walking closer to it and sits on a bench nearby)(thinking to herself)**fuck I didnt buy any food for myself...oh well I just needed to get out of the neighborhood...get out of my complicated ass life**(sighs and just watches the swans and ducks swim on the lake)(she stays there for about 20 minutes with her earphones on and than sees somebody sit next to her. She tries to see who it is from the corner of her eye without turning. She finds out it's a guy but doesn't recognize the face so she keeps looking straight feeling awkward)
Guy: Do you usually come here?
Karen:(hearing him say mumbled words so she takes her earphones off) What? (Slightly turns to him)
Guy:(continuing looking straight) If you usually come here
