I walked outside the dacaying wooden door to find out that the grey, cold winter had ended and the garden was blooming and filled with vibrant, lively colors. I grabbed the woven basket, put some books in it from the little shelf next to the door and went in the garden.

-Do we know each other ?
She didn't respond, instead she looked away. I decided to get up and put my shoes on.
-Um, do you need help with something? - I wanted to be polite.
Silence - again. Then she kindly grabbed my arm and we started walking...
