Andreas's POV
I never thought our paths would intersect once more. Convinced that our initial encounter was a mere error, I had decided to release her from my thoughts. Yet, as I gazed into her eyes, it dawned on me that fate had other plans.
Amidst the forest's hushed serenity, this flowing river resonated with the most resounding sound. I sometimes come here whenever I seek solace from the unsettling quiet of the woods. Expecting yet another solitary day by the river, her scent reached me even before I arrived.
My eyes searched and I caught sight of her kneeling by the river bank. She was muttering words that came out as low moans. I figured that she in tears and I couldn't bring myself to just walk away. I wondered how difficult her life could actually be and worse, I thought of going to comfort her.
