“Central Park?” Maude asked dubiously. “In winter? Are you sure this is a good idea? Jaz said it was better to go in the summer.”

“That’s because Jaz refuses to walk anywhere that might endanger her Prada boots.”

They were trudging in the snow through the park, and although surrounded by beautiful scenery, Maude was worried her feet would turn into two blocks of ice if they continued to wherever Matt was taking her. Carvin winters were rough, but this was something else entirely. However, Carvin held no similar display of natural, picturesque beauty as Central Park offered.

“This alley is breathtaking,” Maude admired a shiver of delight running down her spine.

“It’s called the Mall,” Matt informed simply. Practical as he was, Matt had walked in this alley countless times and wasn’t the kind of person to feel the slightest hint of admiration for what he perceived as nothing but a trail.

“What a horrid name for such a beautiful place!” Maude remarked, shaking her head in disapproval.

Matt’s laugh echoed in the pathway. He might not be awed, but Maude’s candor was definitely touching.

For sure, the name was a savorless, stale name in comparison to the content it stood for. The bare elms, dressed in a white robe of ice crystals, showed the way in an enchanting alley resembling a pathway to an elfin world. Whispering secrets, the snow-draped branches entwined amorously in a wide, cathedral-like canopy. The coarse, dark barks wrinkled with centuries-old wisdom, eyeing the pedestrians in solemn silence.

“I’ll just give this pathway another name,” Maude decided. “Whispering Walkway will be its new name because if you listen closely enough, the trees’ rustling sound like a melodious mur­mur.”

“I now baptize this path the Whispering Walkway!” Matt declared in a serious tone.

Maude glanced at Matt expecting to find an amused glint in his eye, but was surprised when she found none. And with that they continued trudging in silence until they reached their destination.

“You have got to be kidding me!” Maude exclaimed, when they reached their destination.

Before her eyes was the biggest ice-skating rink she had ever seen. The Wollman Rink wasn’t very crowded that day, nevertheless, Maude eyed it suspiciously.

“We should go back to Soulville. We’ve had enough fun for a day, I think.”

“No way! Don’t tell me you’re scared,” he taunted.

Maude remained resolutely silent, a worried look on her face.

“You’ve never been ice-skating, have you?” he asked with a look of genuine concern.

Maude shook her head.

“Well, today is a day full of firsts for you!” he exclaimed. “You’re in luck. Not only are you with the coolest guide in the city, but you’re also with an excellent ice-skating instructor. I never fall. Come on!”

Maude reluctantly followed him to get their skates, wondering uncomfortably how she would ever manage to stay on her feet without looking like a complete fool. No one can pull off a first ice-skating experience without falling flat on their face at least a dozen times and Maude, although willfully compelling herself to remain in vertical position, was no exception.
