11/08/2022

Overview

An ambulance siren wails as Freya Parker walks along the road, sitting down wearily. Aiden Ashley approaches, and Freya looks up, asking: "Am I dreaming?". "How long have you been out in the sun for?", Aiden wonders. "Oh, my phone died", the young girl responds. "Bummer", Aiden declares. "Let me get you some water - I actually don't live too far from here", Aiden offers. Freya takes her hand and they walk off together. At Aiden's home Freya sits on the living room couch, downing a glass of water. "Oh boy, were you thirsty", Aiden declares. "Yeah, I guess I got lost". "New to town?", Ashley asks. Freya nods Yes and wonders: "Do you live here?". "Yes and no, I mean, kind of embarrassing but my dad still pays my rent", Aiden says sheepishly.
