Lost, but ever Found?

Creel watched as Raine hid her face in her hands, a little surprised.
"Uh...R-raine?" he said, reaching out, putting a hand on her shoulder as she cried. He reached around and gave her a gentle hug, trying to comfort her into silence.
"Well....okay, then.....," he said as Raine told him that Sorrel had no clue where their father was, "Where should we start? Any ideas?"

Raine pulled away after a moment, but kept Creel's hands in hers.
"I remember..." She thought for a moment, memories flooding into her mind.

A little girl and a little boy ran through a small garden space. The little girl had long silver hair to her waist, bright blue eyes, and a melodious laugh that echoed off the walls of the house made of tree nearby. The little boy had short silver-blonde hair and bouncy green eyes and his laugh was like a harmony to the girl's. They rose and fell until they followed their owners' silence. The children lay on a slight rise a short walk from the garden they began at. The little boy took the little girl's hand and looked at her with stunningly white teeth and a face that made her madly joyous. The little girl smiled back and then turned her gaze back up to the endlessly moving clouds...

The boy grew older as well, and is more beautiful than the girl. His eyes shine for his love for her. Their hands are together and they walk close. They stop after a short while and she writes letters into the calm of the water with her silky white finger. He sits next to her, watching and waiting. When she looks at him next, he slowly begins to move in until their faces are inches apart. Her heart beats faster than it ever has before. Then they are touching, just slightly. The first of many...
