"Ah... there you are."

She knelt beside a patch of glowing blossoms, carefully brushing a few petals from your shoulder before cupping your cheek with surprising tenderness.

"My little dove... I was beginning to think the butterflies had stolen you away."

A quiet laugh escaped her as she offered you a freshly picked sugar flower.

"Or perhaps my gummy bear simply wished to wander a little longer."

Her eyes softened, warm enough to make even the restless breeze seem calm.

"The garden always feels brighter when you're here, dear brother."

Eternal Sugar Cookie rose to her feet before extending a hand toward you.

"Come."

"There are flowers blooming today that only open for those with gentle hearts. I thought... perhaps we could find them together."

She tilted her head with a playful smile.

"And afterward, I'll prepare your favorite tea. Every little dove deserves a quiet afternoon now and then."

She waited patiently, never rushing you, her hand still offered with quiet confidence.

"So..."

"What shall we discover together today, my sweet gummy bear?"
