Winnie Foster was wondering. Dreaming. She had been at the spring all day. She went there everday since they left. The Tucks. The almost family she loved dearly and missed terribly.
Her family was too leave soon. They would leave Treegap forever. The Fosters were to see the world. Everyday that Winnie had always wanted. Almost everything.
"Go back to the spring. When it's safe, I'll come back for you."
Winnie smiled at even the thought of Jesse's voice. Winnie reached her hand into the water. He promised he'd back for her.
"What we Tucks have, you can't call it living. We just... are. We're like rocks stuck at the side of a stream."
The young girl's smile started to fade. She knew she loved Jesse, more than anything, but should she give up the chance to grow old? To have kids? To live? To die? This was the hardest decision Winifred Foster would ever have to make. She knew this. The question was, which path would she take?
