on the shores of Big Bear Lake

On the shores of Big Bear Lake, in the San Bernardino mountains...

There was a boy...

...and a girl.

They took a trip to the lake.

One morning, they set off on a hike to explore the north shore.

He met a new friend...

...while she dove right in.

And on the way back from the observatory...

...there was a heart-pounding question...

...and an tearful answer.

And that's the beginning of the next part of our story.
