why hello, stranger!
Gabby was surprised when he stopped in his tracks, and she turned to wait for him, a little surprised when he didn't mention anything at all. She smiled softly in return, then turned back to the path as he reached her. She nodded, quiet, as she followed him down the path. "I'll be thinking of you and Domenic both."
She almost hesitated as he offered her a hand, but took it after a moment. "I haven't explored this area as much as I've wished to," she admitted. "Though I've heard it's beautiful, and that there are some areas where the water's so clear you can see straight to the bottom from the middle of the river!"
