He sat on the bank of the river, with his fishing rod out in the middle of the stream. It was in the middle of July, and the sun beat down on him as he waited patiently for the fish to bite. He looked around, as if he was awaiting someone’s arrival. His backpack sat in front of him, and he would occasionally take a sip of a water bottle that was tucked inside. Eventually, he sighed, and stopped looking about.

She followed the map he had given her, and as she approached where the x was located, seeing nothing. Looking up and down the wooded path, she saw nothing that hinted at human inhabitance. She sat down on a rock and tried to figure out if somehow she had read the map the wrong way. Eventually, frantic, she walked down the path a little more and sat down on a rock she found.

Looking at his watch, he quickly put his fishing rod in his backpack and walked up the path a little bit, underneath a huge sycamore tree. Searching for the copy of the map he had given her, he wondered if he had made a mistake on it. The exact place he was at, he realized, was the place he was supposed to meet her an hour ago.

She heard the leaves rustle under someone’s feet and quickly laid flat on the ground. The rustling stopped and she relaxed. Standing up, she walked in the other direction, wondering if perhaps He was down by the river.

The brightness of the sun helped him go to sleep on the sycamore tree. The heat slowly put him to sleep, and he drifted off. He wasn’t worried about anything now, because he knew that she would eventually find him.

As she walked the other direction, she sensed that she was going the wrong direction. Trusting her instinct, she walked around the curve that led back up to where a large sycamore tree was located.

Then she saw him.

He was woken up by the rustling of leaves and quickly searched around for his backpack. Finding it, he took out his water bottle and took a sip. He heard the sound of someone approaching.

Then he saw her.

They found each other.
