"This is my favourite place!" Lydia exclaimed suddenly, vacating Theodores arms where she’d been nestled after crying about her mother. This is their next meeting after the last one and it was the most emotional.
"It is free and my voice echoes" She let out, her arms spread out as she twirled like she had the first day he’d seen her here.
"My feet, my heart, my hair,─ free!" she continued to squeal as she repeated the manthra, happy to forget her problems for awhile.
"And you are love" Theodore whispered to himself as he watched her, half amused and half adoration.
She got exhausted at some point and joined him and together, they sat by the waterfall, the world fading away as they shared stories and dreams, the bond between them growing ever stronger.
They stood there for a while, hand in hand, lost in the wonder of nature and the growing love they felt for each other. The wind whispered around them, the birds sang their melodies, and the forest seemed to embrace them in its timeless beauty. It was a moment of pure magic, one they would carry with them forever as they continued their journey together.
They read a book Alice brought and when Theodore left, he left her cheek glowing with a kiss.
The next fall that they would meet the sun was just beginning its descent, casting a warm, golden light over the bustling town nestled at the edge of the forest when Alice and Theodore moved into the town, they were disguised in plain clothes to blend in with the townsfolk, and they made their way through the crowded streets.
