MAEA
"That's true. That it's even possible is more than I could have hoped for. I've waited this long... what's another season or two?" Her heart could keep aching while they looked for the dratted flowers, and perhaps by the end of it - whenever that may be - she would have learned something about patience.
Certainly Liam was teaching her plenty about the usefulness of small gestures. Bolstered by their conversation and glad for his company, Maea returned focus to the search. Doing everything in her power meant combing through the beaches, inlets and strands surrounding the estuary. Without paths to follow they were often forced to wade marshy wetlands or bushwhack through dense underbrush. As hours passed the sun rose high in the sky, warming the air enough that even Maea took off her coat and tied it around the waist.
It was only the growl of her stomach that convinced her to take a break; sweaty, scratched up and with twigs caught in her hair she staggered back to their designated camp and dropped onto the ground. "Are roses even real?" she mused aloud while uncorking a water bottle to take a long swig. "Maybe if we started to look for tulips or orchids instead, we'd actually find something...?"

I see a new horizon, holding on to hope
Say goodbye to all my pain when it's time for me to go
