August 21, 1994**The Artist POV**
**9:30 a.m.**
When I got out of the shower to start the day, Lani was still sound asleep. Given the morning we've both had, I suppose I can't blame her...
I make up a quick breakfast for two, waffles and fruit, along with making up a pot of coffee. I quickly eat, and put the rest in the toaster oven on low for Lani.
I contemplate whether or not to wake her, as I plan to go out to do some exploring and to gather some kindling so we could have a bonfire later this evening.
In the end I think she looks far too peaceful, and given our already busy morning (I can't help cracking a grin at this one), and how sore her foot has been, I opt to leave her a note and slip out for a couple of hours.
I start by leaving the quick note on the fridge for her to see when she gets up.
Lani,
Good morning again mama...😉 I've just gone out to do a little exploring on foot. I would've woken you but you looked far too peaceful, so I decided to let you rest for now. Breakfast is in the toaster oven. I should be back by lunch.
Xoxo
I wander over to the bed, place a feather light kiss on her forehead before taking off out the door.

I start by wandering the area around the cabin but there isn't much of interest here, so I soon find myself venturing a bit further out.
Finally I come across a section of large trees, with broken branches all over the ground. This would be as good a place as any to start gathering firewood for later.
With that in mind, I start placing a variety of woods into a bag I brought with me for just this purpose, and before long I had plenty of wood to last through the evening.
Since it was still early, I think I'll take some time just to look around. It's so peaceful out here, nothing like the big city...
Soon I come across a patch of wildflowers. I think that Lani would probably enjoy these, and that they would help brighten up the cabin, so pull together a bouquet of lilacs, lavender, violets, tiger lilies, and sunflowers until my arms are almost overloaded with them. That ought to do it...
Just as I finish up with that, my eyes catch a faint shiny glint buried amongst the wildflowers. Curious, I decide to drop down and try digging up whatever it was I'd found. Very strange...
A few moments later, much to my surprise I uncover what looks to be an intact aquamarine ring the same shade as Lani's eyes, surrounded by several small diamonds. Someone's got to be missing this...
