But he refused.

He stood still, wind ruffling his hair. “The woods,” he said, “have memory. And they remember her. They might not like you walking the same paths.” I didn’t say anything. Didn’t have to.

It was as if the forest itself was waiting—waiting for something.

The woods stretched out ahead of us, dark and silent, except for the occasional rustle of leaves or distant call of an animal. I couldn’t shake the growing sense of dread in my gut. Elizabeth was smart—she wouldn’t just run off without reason. But if she had, what had driven her away? **8 minutes later...** We had been walking through the woods for what felt like hours, though in reality, it had only been about eight minutes.

I could smell the refreshing scent of the outdoors. The fragrance of fall was in the air. I could feel the gentle nip of the whispering wind upon my cheek. Forest sounds sang a comforting lullaby when I walked on the bed of leaves beneath me. I could hear the trickle of water as I drew near the stream.
