In Ansel's Special Viewing Place on a sitting stone stood Ansel. He looked into the pond reminiscing on his date with Gabrielle.
A picture of her smiling face flashed in his mind, weighing down his heart.
'Gabrielle, I miss you so much… I wish I could hold you again… These memories are not enough… I need to hear the sound of your voice again… I need to hear your laugh… I need you in my arms again… To feel your hand caress my face… How I wish you knew how much I miss you… How much I love you… Gabrielle why… Why did you have to leave… My heart longs for you Gabrielle… It burns for you… I promise when you come home I'll tell you everyday and never let you forget it… This time I won't let you slip away… I'll put all my love for you on full display so you'll never have to question if I love you or not…'
A Royal Guard walked behind him, the sounds of his footsteps crunching against dead leaves roamed in the air.
