smiled. Armand stopped walking and turned her to face him. "I really don't want you to leave me again Andrea," he uttered looking down at her. Andrea looked up at him and made him felt that she too wanted to be with him. The two then continued walking and chatted with each other. They told each other about their friends, the people they met, and the places they traveled. And in between they told each other stories and jokes that made each other laugh.

      Armand saw a pebble on their way stopped and picked it up. He then turned towards the sea and threw it as far as he could. It flew far into the sea and after it landed and hit the sea, he spoke. "The pebble that you threw did work after all, Andrea."

     Andrea smiled and said. "Yeah it did."
