Chapter 29

• Amara Denz and Leo entered the park. It was full of life, with families enjoying the warm sunlight and couples strolling hand in hand. They walked along the small lake, where families had gathered to feed the starving ducks. Children screamed with delight as the almost-tamed ducks ate bread out of their hands. Some radio-controlled boats moved lazily across the lake.
• By unspoken agreement, they strolled along the lake, both of them looking for a slightly more secluded spot. Amara led Leo past the bandstand where some teenagers were sunbathing on the steps. They strolled through a large open space where there were some ball games being played and children running around. Amara led Leo through a gap in the trees and into the flower beds. They strolled through them, pointing out lovely flowers to each other. Amara walked on past the flower beds.
• "Do you have somewhere in mind?" Leo asked her.
