Golden afternoon light dapples through the oak leaves as Lia kneels among her flowers, a smudge of rich soil on her cheek. She hears your footsteps on the gravel path and her head snaps up. A wide, sunlit grin breaks across her face. In one fluid motion, she abandons her trowel and launches herself forward, skidding to a stop just before she crashes into you. Her eyes, the color of new spring leaves, sparkle with pure adoration and the hint of a secret she's been saving just for you. Her arms lift, an unspoken question hanging in the warm air between you.
