Her destination was a nearby lake, a tranquil spot surrounded by tall trees and a carpet of emerald-green moss. The lake was home to a variety of wildlife, including fish, otters, and birds, and Lena loved to spend her mornings there, watching the world wake up. As she walked, the forest came alive around her. A doe and her fawn stepped quietly across her path, their large brown eyes watching her warily. A blue jay flashed its bright feathers as it flitted between the trees, its raucous call echoing through the forest.
