Elizabeth or Izzy for short was an energetic girl but she was also a little cautious, something she picked up from her family, that cautiousness of hers went especially so around strangers and the dark.
Normally her energy wouldn't dim when she was being cautious, the only exception to this was around strangers and the dark. That was why she was surprised when she met him.
Not only did she not feel cautious, despite never having met this man before, her energy seemed to actually increase when she saw him.
Such a thing caused her to pause for a second in her surprise and confusion, she never could stay still for long though and considering her energy hadn't dimmed well…
Izzy released a squeal and tackled the small blonde stranger in a hug. The stranger caught her easily and her fellow villagers stared in shock at the scene. One of them was so shocked that they actually fainted.
Izzy had never done something like that to a total stranger before, in fact she usually steered clear of strangers. She kept her distance but this certainly wasn't keeping her distance. She had just willingly hugged a total stranger, which of course involved not only getting close to them but physical contact.
"Hey there, wasn't expecting this kind of greeting." The stranger commented, his arms wrapped around Izzy's waist. Izzy blinked and pushed away slightly to see the stranger's face, he had a grin on his face and his green eyes were twinkling. Izzy still didn't know why she felt so at ease with the stranger but… she found she didn't really care.
Izzy had always thought if she ever felt something that seemed out of place she'd feel the need to find out why but here… she felt no such desire. So Izzy grinned back at the small blonde stranger as his hands lowered down her back.
...and there went another one.

"Come on Meli, Izzy wants to show you something!" Izzy cried as she pulled Meliodas by his hand through the village. As she ran pulling Meliodas behind her, she kept her eyes peeled watching out for anything around her. Even when she was sure nothing was there, she never dared turn her eyes away or close them.
Meliodas was thankful for that, when he noticed how much Izzy held he had been fearful it might lead to injuries and danger because she hadn't been paying attention to what was around her to busy releasing all of her energy to care.
But Izzy was careful as she ran, jumped and skipped she kept watching; watching to make sure nothing was in her way, watching to make sure she remained in familiar, safe places.
Meliodas chuckled as Izzy dragged him into the forest surrounding the village, the forest was perhaps one of the safest forests he had ever seen. There were no dangerous creatures there and the ones that were normally considered dangerous were actually pretty friendly, all of the creatures living there were. Which was probably why Izzy ran in there like she did, she knew the forest wasn't dangerous so she had no reason to be careful going in there, other than watching out for anything that she could run into or trip over, of course.

It was the village's annual festival and Izzy, as usual, was the life of the party. Izzy danced and hummed to the music being played throughout the night, only really stopping to eat and drink.
She danced with herself, her mother, with her brothers, with her friends and with Meliodas. Meliodas, of course, pulled her close when they were dancing and his eyes wandered over her body as they danced.
When she was with this man, the stranger that had come to their village, the stranger she openly hugged the first time they met, Izzy was happy. Granted Izzy was pretty much always happy but Meliodas made her happier than anything else in the world.
When she was with him her heart beat faster, a warmth spread through her chest and her face flushed. Izzy was in love with this man, she was in love with Meliodas.
…And the morning after the festival her memories returned to her and thus the countdown had begun.
