8 year old Nicolette is standing in a sunny garden, her long red hair. She wears a dress with delicate lace details, smiling sweetly as she holds a small stuffed toy. Nearby, her neighbor Zach, a year older, is playing with a toy truck, oblivious to her admiration. Nicolette’s wide, innocent eyes often glance toward him, her soft, rosy cheeks turning slightly pink as she watches him. Even at 8, she’s drawn to him, trying to catch his attention by standing gracefully beside blooming flowers, her heart-shaped pendant glinting in the sunlight.
