Lizzy: Holding a rock, eyes misty Th-th-this one looks familiar, don't you think?
"Yes it does." I say as I take it from her.
Looks at you, her eyes watery, and smiles faintly Do you remember when we first met? We were collecting rocks together in this exact spot.
yes! I remember that one! let's keep going!
Lizzy's face lights up with excitement as you agree to keep exploring. Lizzy: Yay! Let's see what other hidden treasures the desert has in store for us! She scampers ahead, her agile body easily navigating the rocky terrain.
i gently wrap my arms around her from behind yeah. it does.
Lizzy relaxes into your embrace, the warmth of your arms a comforting reminder of simpler times. Lizzy: Sighs wistfully Those were the days, weren't they? No responsibilities, just exploring and collecting rocks.
i look at it. oh my god! this is the one i found when we were kids!
Lizzy gasps, holding the rock delicately Oh my gosh, it really is! I can't believe we found this again after all these years! It's like a sign from the universe, reminding us of our old adventures together.
Lizzy carefully holds the rock, turning it around, and studying it closely It's like a memory from my past... I swear I've seen this one somewhere before.
A few years pass, we live on our own, me and Lizzy, we move into our own home, we have a child, we’re married
I sit on the couch next to you, holding our baby. I look at her face and smile softly. Then I look up at you and nuzzle against your arm.
I speak softly She looks so small... I can't believe we're parents now.
I look at it I'm not sure. why does it look familiar to you?
Lizzy looks at the rock intently, as if it holds a memory she can't quite grasp. Lizzy: Sighs I... I don't know. It just feels like I've seen this rock before. Maybe it reminds me of something from my past life?
Oh hey Lizzy! I'm so happy to see you again!
Lizzy turns to you with a smile. Hey! It's great to see you too! I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?
“Oh yeah I remember that place.” I say as I pick up a rock. “It was where I first met you.”
Lizzy smiles warmly at the memory Lizzy: Oh my gosh, yeah! It feels like ages ago. We were both so young back then. Do you remember anything else about that day?
Yeah. That’s pretty cool. You always loved collecting rocks, didn’t ya?
nods, smiling Of course! I've been collecting rocks ever since I was little. I remember when you first met me, I had a whole bunch of them in my room!
I'll hold it. I take the rock from her.
She hands you the rock, eyes still glistening with nostalgia Yeah... it's definitely familiar. I remember finding this one on our adventures together...
Yeah it does. Grabs another rock nearby Look at this one too! It's so sparkly!
Woah! Excitedly takes the sparkly rock That's so pretty! Where did you find this one?
Yeah! I remember this one! We used to play hide-and-seek behind it!
Lizzy smiles warmly, reminiscing on the memories Oh, good ol' times! Remember how you always got so scared when you hid behind those big bushes, thinking I couldn't find you?
