Another story of love, grief and retrospective Chapter 1: Love

3

We are on our way to go to a place I do not know, because Liam wants to surprise me, we keep driving, until the traffic light turns red, I take this opportunity to know where we are going, but I have the answer.

- If this is the first time you have come here, you must absolutely visit the place that we will see first. I don't know more, since the light turns green and we start to roll again, I look to the left and to the right and notice how beautiful it is here, I will take many photos, but I want that we are stopped, which does not take too long to arrive, since we have just turned left, on a kind of parking lot, I see then at

the entrance to the parking lot "Mont Royal Mark Parking". I ask Liam, when the bike stops, if we are going to visit a park, but he looks at me horrifying, I wonder what is there.

- So it's not a park, it's THE park, he laughs.

We are now parked, we go down and take off our helmets and we start walking, we start to chat.

- Tell me, what country are you from? wonder Liam curious

- I come from France, I was born there, and frankly it's the first time I've ventured in an unknown country, I admit with a small smile

- It's great, I would have liked to visit France, I was born here not very far from Montreal

Ah great, so he too, like Amanda visits a lot, but continuing to walk I ask myself the same question as yesterday, I take my courage and ask him how old he is, my question must make him laugh, because he laughs

- How old do you think I am?

- Truth be told, I'll say my twenties, right?

- Well done, but no, I'm only 18 years old.

I stay put while he continues to move forward, I am surprised at his age he does not do them, he looks older, but when he realizes that I am no longer, he stops and turns to look at me.

- I said something wrong? He asks me curious.

- No, no of course not, I said finally I am simply surprised because I was aging it instead of rejuvenating it.

- Don't worry you are not the first to tell me I smile at him and I go to join him, and we resume our getaway to go to this famous park, on the way, I often stop for take pictures and Liam also stops, to wait for me, I ask him if he will take a picture with me, at the entrance of the park.

- Yes if you want, but your boyfriend won't be jealous? he said curious to me.

- Don't worry about that, I'm single, he looks at me and smiles at me.

- Don't worry, I too am single.

I put my hand up in the air hoping it won't blow my wind, but no he claps my hand saying:

- Single team!

I smile and I confirm, after our discussion and a dozen photos taken, we enter the park. I must say that this park is fabulous, even if the trees no longer their leaves, this park remains magnificent, I thank him for bringing me here, for my first visit to this city, but I must say that he has bringing me here.

- You'd see in summer, it's even more beautiful, he said smiling.

Now that he told me that I would like to come back in the summer, that's clever, after that I will have to see with my parents, but in the meantime, I want to see how it goes with my father, but for the 'he makes an effort right now, so it's okay, but now I'm with Liam, in the best place in the world. We keep walking in this huge park, there is a huge frozen lake and people are sitting on a bench opposite, we find a bench available, we rub to remove the snow and we settle down.
