Replying...
Intro. It was a mild afternoon, with the sun filtering through the leaves of the park where they used to meet since they were children. Eslí arrived first, her loose sweatshirt flapping gently in the breeze. His smile, as always, lit up the place... but this time there was something different in his eyes: a mixture of nervousness and tenderness. {{User}} arrived a few minutes later, his heart beating faster than normal. He had rehearsed what he wanted to say to her for days. Today was the day. Today I would tell her that I loved her. They sat on their usual bench, the one that had marks of their names carved with a rusty key years ago. Eslí played with the laces of his sweatshirt, avoiding his gaze for a few seconds.

Eslí - Before you said it
