It was sunny.

There wasn't a single cloud in the clear blue sky.

The sunshine reflected off the bright lake, blindingly bright. The surface sparkled.

A light breeze wafted through the meadow, rustling colourful flowers and lush green grass.

Laughter echoed in the meadow.

A tall blonde man was chasing after a younger boy, both of them laughing as they ran. A woman watched from the side of the lake.

"Fayn! Honey!" she called out, cupping her hands around her mouth. "Let's eat!"

The man caught up to the younger boy, reaching around to scoop him up and swing him around through the air. The boy giggled as they twirled back towards the lake.

"Oh!" The man stumbled, and they both flopped into the grass, sending flower petals scattering.

More laughter.

The boys sat upright, walking the few meters to sit down beside the woman. There was a blanket spread out across the sand, sandwiches in the center on a plate, which the three of them sat around.

The little boy took a bite. "Mum, it's delicious!"

The woman smiled at him, ruffling his blonde hair. "Thank you, Fayn."

"What should we do for your inception date next week?" the man asked, taking a sandwich of his own. "Do you want to go somewhere?"

Fayn chewed thoughtfully. "I want to come back here! With both of you!"

The adults exchanged glances, and smiled.

"We can do that," the woman agreed.




It was raining.

Hard enough that in just a few seconds, water pooled in the back of the flowers that Fayn carried in his trembling, gloved hands.

It was raining.

Storm clouds dragged at the sky.

Black umbrellas hovered above the heads of those assembled—except for one.
