"Thank you for visiting and welcome again!" Serena said happily as the young woman left the store with a smile, carrying a pack of gift cards, papers, and other small parcels. She sighed as the door closed and leaned on her chair on which she sat.

This had been a busy day, like everyone else before. But it was clear, as November was coming to an end and Christmas was approaching. And for gift shops like the one Serena owned, the time was busy.

Serena got up from her chair and paddled through the store to the door. She turned the "Open" sign upside down, now reading "Closed" and then stepping across the store to the staff side. She packed her belongings, took off her jacket, and then put everything in order on the side of the store before she turned off the lights and left the store, and stepped into the frost evening.

She locked the shop door and then went for a walk towards her home. She would shiver a little and put her hands covered in mittens in the pockets of her coat. The frost had clearly colder than the morning. Serena glanced up and saw a few stars among the tall apartment buildings in the city.

However, she did not see the clouds she wanted, but the sky was clear and it made Serena a little sad in some way. She would have wished for snow that had not yet been seen this year. She walked along the sidewalk, and people of all kinds walked against her. Although the evening was dark, the city was brightly lit, so it didn't bother.

Serena admired in her mind the beautiful shop windows of shops and shops with beautiful Christmas-themed decorations. The facades of the shops had also been decorated beautifully with various strips of light, and Serena noted decorate of her own shop also beautiful.

She slid among the human sea and then turned onto a road that passed a small park. She walked along the sidewalk until she came to the park and then stopped.

She walked through this route every day, but she had never happened to walk through the park. She had always passed it just along the sidewalk. Now, however, Serena felt something in the park pulling her toward it, so she stepped in through the park gate, adorned with a beautiful green and thick vine, and set out to walk along a path lit by lantern pillars.

She walked slowly down the path and looked around. The park looked like an ordinary city park with lights, trees and grasslands, and flowering in the summer. A few people walked against her with their dog, but otherwise, the park was very quiet.

However, that didn't bother Serena. She enjoyed being allowed to walk in peace on a path lit by trees and lantern pillars. However, she was so in her thoughts that she did not look where she put her feet. So she didn't notice the frozen puddle in the middle of her path.

She stepped on the ice and felt her feet slip under it. She would have fallen on her back if someone hadn't caught her and said, "Carefully. That point in the path is pretty slippery. "

She opened her eyes, which she had instinctively closed, and found herself leaning against someone's arms. Strong arms, she noticed. Her helper helped her stand back and Serena turned to see who had saved her.

She found herself staring at the two auburn eyes that looked at her with twinkles. The eyes, on the other hand, belonged to a young man, about the same age as her, who looked at her with a smile.

"You have to be careful, the path can be slippery," the man said and Serena nodded. At the same time, she moved the honey-blonde hair lock away from her sparkling blue eyes and felt the red rose on her cheeks. At the same time, she secretly stared at the man, and realized she liked his appearance.
