Sparkling Pond

''“Then we need to go where you feel safe in telling me. How about that old gazebo on Sparkling Pond over in Cottonwood Forest? Remember we always used to go there as kids when we wanted to tell each other our secrets?”''

-Rea speaking to Kip about her favorite place.

Characteristics
''"Just as the sun started to sink below the western horizon, Rea and Kip stepped under the white wicker roof of the gazebo. Rea seated herself at a bench while Kip leaned up against a rail, smelling the deep fragrance of the red roses that wrapped around the banister. Golden light streamed down on the waters of the pond where ducks and otters swam. Rea’s eyes twinkled in merriment. She loved Cottonwood Forest and all its peaceful treasures." ''
