Chapter 91

The meal left me all warm and fuzzy, and Oscar was such a chatterbox that the mood was really upbeat

Then drove to Evergreen Park, the biggest park in Rosemont, with a massive artificial lake that’s absolutely gorgeous when it’s full of yellow water lilies In summer. In winter, the lake freezes over, and birds sometimes perch on the ice. People buy some bread, crumble it up, and throw it on the ice for the birds to peck at

Oscar also bought two loaves of bread and handed one to me, “Trene, you feed them too”

“Sure thing “I opened the bread, crumbled it up with my hands, and threw it onto the lake. Several birds immediately came to peck at it, making quite a

scene

After we finished feeding the birds, we strolled around the park. I don’t usually go out for walks, but despite the cold, I was really enjoying myself.

Oscar nodded, and we continued climbing in silence

By the time we reached the top, I was sweaty all over After taking off my coat, the cold wind made me feel really refreshed

Looking down at the snow–covered Obsidian Spire, it was truly beautiful. The town of Rosemont below looked like a winter wonderland, sparkling under the clear sunlight
