The history, future, and ongoing tales of a boy, a girl, scraped knees & being in love.

Prologue.



Once upon a time, there was a girl and a boy.

One day, they fell in.

This trip down the rabbit hole felt like they were falling forever,

whizzing past the hot molten centre of the earth, until they passed through to the other side,
ascending to a new horizon. They walked about on their new plane, taking in all the exciting
sights and sounds.
Flowers were more fragrant, strawberries more sweet.

       "Is this what falling in love is like for everyone?" she asked him, eyes big and wide.
       "Let's find out!" he shouted, taking her by the hand and pulling her towards the cliff.

She held her breath and it all felt like slow-motion as they taxied to the edge and after one

burst of weightless flight, gravity ever the victor, they soared toward the water.
He felt like he might let go, but he only grew stronger with every tug.
The waves cradled their fall, carrying them to the depths where they found their footing
at the bottom of the ocean.

Through the very moment you're reading this, the girl and the boy, hand-in-hand, have

discovered mountains to climb, buildings to leap from, chasms to jump, and caves to explore:
trying to fall into love in every imaginable way with little things, significant things,
and most importantly, each other.

This is their story.
