Devin was looking at the window, over the green fields where the flowers bloom. A tree stood at the center. A large tree that brought shade over a small lake.
"Xia? Can I go to that lake?" Devin found himself asking. "It looks too surreal to be even here."
"Yeah, sure, go ahead," Xia said. "But be careful. There will be people who will pass through that road a few meters away. They might see you and be curious.
"Okay," Devin said and smiled.
Bored out of his mind, Devin decided to run barefoot, going to the lake and feeling the breeze. The air was cold and fresh, just like a fresh morning breeze in the city but not nearly as refreshing.
"I wanna stay here," Devin said to himself.
He slowed down when he approached the lake, laying himself under the large tree that overlooked the vast fields of grass.
"So peaceful and serene, right?"
