Kristie giggled as she skipped through the vast expanse of sunflowers, her small stature allowing her to dart through the yellow sea without fear of being caught by her dog, Brownie. The sound of her laughter echoed through the open space, blending with the gentle rustling of the sunflower stalks in the breeze.
"Brownie, come on, let's go find Mommy," she called out, prompting her furry companion to bound happily along beside her, wagging his tail. As they made their way away from the farm, Kristie's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a figure sitting under the shade of a tall pine tree, partially obscuring their small orange-coloured house. With a burst of excitement, she hurried toward the woman.
"Mommy!" she exclaimed, her voice carrying across the distance and capturing the woman's attention as she turned to face her daughter.
"Kristie."
