Nick arrived at Greensly Park only a few minutes past five.
The e-driver parked opposite NeoTech Plaza, so Nick quickly paid and got out of the vehicle.
About his surroundings, moving vehicles honked and revved, and people adorned in mostly winter clothing filled the park and streets.
At NeoTech Plaza across the road, there were red advertisement banners and whatnot.
'Oh yeah, Valentine's Day is around the corner,' he solemnly thought.
Normally, Jack's Quickstop was supposed to amp up their marketing and start advertising Valentine's Day specials too, but the store was getting sold, and he was now fired. So it didn't matter.
Nick found a bench and waited there for only three minutes before receiving a call from Lola. He answered it and directed her to where he waited.
Shortly after, Nick spotted a black-haired young lady in an oversized light blue and white striped sweater, tight dark blue jeans, and white sneakers walking over.
