Making up camp

With the sun setting, they established their campsite beside a stream, its murmuring waters offering solace in the forest’s tranquility. Gathered around a modest fire, they recounted stories of Mark and Lily into the night, every narrative serving as a strand drawing them nearer to the ones they were in search of.
In this setting, amidst the raw splendor of the natural world, their expedition transformed into a pilgrimage, undertaken with intention and affection.
