He called her Lucy. He said she lived in the forest. She wondered? The forest! All she ever dreamed of was the gardens. She never saw her gardens. So when she grew up she ran. She ran to the safest place she remembered. She ran to find him. She ran to the forest. She grabbed his Forgotten sweater and then she ran for the City. She ran to find him.
