"Grace?" I question furrowing my eyebrows.

I had spotted her from afar, I had thought maybe it was just my mind playing games with me, but it was actually her.

I walk up to her.

She looks up at me eyes wide looking  shocked then bows her head to avoid any eye contact.

With her eyes glued to her hands her face expressions fade and she remains seated there, much more calmer, like I'm not here.

Is she trying to ignore me?

It was as if she was trying to make me disappear or make herself disappear with just the use of her mind.

But we both knew that was impossible.

She couldn't change the fact that we were here.

That I found her.

Not that I was intentionally looking for her, just hoping she was here.

And she also couldn't change that we're alone in this gorgeous place, together.

"I guess destiny wants us to work something out since we keep having these types of encounters" I state jokingly meaning it.

She looks up at me again playing with a bracelet that was around her wrist.

Her blue eyes land on me.

"I-uh. I should go" she finally speaks.

I frown.

I watch her carefully as she lifts herself up from the large rock with her shoes in her hands.

I stay glued on my spot.

I can't stop her.

Or can I?

I mean of course I can.

The real question is should I stop her?

Before she could get any further my legs begin to jog towards her direction.

I went with my gut feeling.

"Wait!" I call out.

Thankfully and surprisingly she awaits for me to catch up with her.

I pause for a second then begin to speak.

"Don't you think there's a purpose to all this? That we're here at this place at the same exact time?" I ask.

Noticing she had no intention on speaking I continued.

"This isn't just any place either. I showed you this place out of trust, nobody knows this but you and Steve. I'm not saying others don't know about this place completely, but those other people don't know how important this place is to me like you do" I explain.

"Don't you remember the first time we came here?" I try to remind her hopefully.

I remember myself.

The memory makes me smile.

I examine her.

She's nervous.

Almost scared.

She's not doing the usual.

Snapping at me nor looking for an argument.

She's just little old fragile Grace.

But we both know that wasn't true at all.

Not anymore atleast.
