Week 4 - Mellifluous

She keeps walking down along the rocks, comes up to a small waterfall with a shallow pool of water around it with rocks piled around it, almost like an entry to a cave. She sets the photo down between a couple of bigger rocks. She then kicks off her flip-flops and starts wading into the water, with the water running across her legs from the current. Another beautiful sight of her slowly walking up to the falling water with her hands out to catch it. She then closes her eyes and tilts her head back as the water runs down her body. Afterward, she is sitting on a rock with her knees up to her face, still barefoot in her short, one piece summer dress, with her brunette hair all to one side, still wet from the water. She moves her feet around in the water while again looking at that photo and thinking about who it could be. She lightly bites her finger, squints and looks around from where she is sitting. She wishes she was still with her friends during nighttime drives with the glow of cell phone screens, and the car windows open to feel the breeze from the interstate. She closes her eyes as she runs her hand through her hair along the right side, grazing past an old scar on her temple right by her hairline. While trying to hold back tears from what gave her that scar. It's now mid-morning and she heads further down through the rocky path which led her to the small waterfall. Her dress eventually dries from the sunlight. She lowers her white sunglasses back down from her head and holds onto the photo tightly as she keeps walking around the trees away from that small waterfall. After hearing a dog ruffle through the grass, she was then drawn to curiosity and decided to follow it.
