Thirteen year old Sophia's life is pretty simple: study, do chores, bake, and sleep. On the weekends, she's off playing with friends or picking flowers. Until one day, while she wanders around the riverbank, she sees a girl on a picnic all by herself. Sophia's not sure what to do, but until she works up the courage to approach her, she hopes the girl who reads books and eats sandwiches by the riverbank stays there, and waits for her.
