They’re huddled together in the forest, like usual. Sometimes Gretel thinks she should hate the forest, after all that time spent wandering, side by side with her brother, searching for their stolen father in a hopeless ocean of green.

But she doesn’t hate it, not at all. Which probably has a lot to do with Wendy.

They’ve made new memories together, memories that overpower the sorrow and frustration of the past.

The forest is now the place where she and Wendy became friends, where they played together, where they shared their stories and held each other tight when the tears started. It’s where they whispered secrets and confessions, where they grew together in body and mind, in heart and soul. It’s where their hands first twined together, where their lips first brushed, gentle and chaste but with a promise of eternity.

The forest is where Gretel was once lost, but Wendy knows what it means to be lost as well. And now the forest is where they both were found, found by each other.

Now the forest is the shadow of trees across their faces and the scent of pine on the other’s skin.

Now the forest is their future.
