Destiny's POV
The fulfillment of seeing Hallie after a long time can be a heartwarming blend of joy, love, and relief, heightened by the sense of reunion.
I was speechless when I saw her the following day while swimming at the beach. A spurt of happiness swept over me like the sun breaking through a cloudy sky. Her smile felt like a hug for my soul, instantly melting away the time and distance that had kept us apart.
I couldn't believe how much she'd grown, yet her laughter carried the same innocence I'd missed so profoundly. A mix of joy and relief that she was finally in front of me enveloped my heart.
"It was nice to see you again, Hallie. It seemed to me you are an early riser," I declared after she joined me in the water.
"I love this place so much and can't wait to see you again. You reminded me of someone, " she answered, and my heart raced as I stared at her lovely place.
