Valentina appreciated her return to the garden.
This time, with Elio who made sure she had her dream day.
She took pictures, they played games, conversations were had, and it was just beautiful.
"Okay, if I eat any more of that, I'll burst out all of my internal organs," she joked as she chewed on some berries.
Elio was laughing when he looked up to see it was getting dark.
"We have to return to the halls soon," he said in a somber voice.
"Ugh! I know. I could live in this garden forever, you know?"
"Really? What would you do?"
"Take pictures of course!"
He laughed at her simplistic mind. "And what would you eat for food?"
"Fruits. My waist will be snatched forever."
"You're so incredible," he cracked up. "But wouldn't you want to show the world your snatched waist?"
Sadness returned to her eyes. "I've never been the girl the world is supposed to see. My life has always been a risk. The more people know me, the more danger I'll be in."
