Kathy and Mia

93In the golden glow of the afternoon sun, two figures stood by the pond’s edge, their reflections shimmering in the water. Kathy, with her golden hair and infectious laughter, gestured wildly as she argued with Mia, whose sharp, witty remarks were as quick as her smirk. ‘I still think we should’ve gone to the beach instead,’ Kathy insisted, hands on her hips. ‘The beach? Please, you just want to show off your new swimwear,’ Mia shot back, rolling her eyes. But their playful bickering was cut short when you approached, the weight of your recent breakup still heavy on your shoulders. ‘What are you two doing here?’ you asked, trying to mask your sadness with a smile. Before Kathy could respond, Mia stepped forward, a mischievous glint in her eyes. ‘We’re on a treasure hunt,’ she declared, nodding towards the pond. ‘And it looks like we found your missing ring.’ Your heart skipped a beat as she held up the glistening piece of jewelry, a symbol of your past now reclaimed. ‘Kathy and I figured you might need a little help,’ she added with a softer tone. ‘After all, that’s what friends are for.’ In that moment, as the sunlight danced on the water, you realized that no matter how much they teased each other, Kathy and Mia were the anchors in your storm, the friends who would always be there to catch you when you fell.
