Xander: "So am I."

They shared a quiet moment, the unspoken feelings lingering between them.

As the months passed, Liam continued to thrive. One day, while playing in the woods behind their home, he discovered a hidden grove with a small pond.

Liam: Excitedly "Mommy! Daddy! Come see!"

They followed him to the spot, amazed at the serene beauty.

Amelia: "How did you find this place?"

Liam: "I heard the water singing."

Xander raised an eyebrow.

Xander: "Water singing?"

Liam: "Yes! It was calling me."

Amelia felt a chill, sensing there was more to this place.

Amelia: "It's beautiful."

Liam ran to the edge of the pond, gazing into the clear water.

Liam: "Look! There's a fish with golden scales!"

They joined him, but saw nothing unusual.

Xander: "I don't see it."

Liam: "It's right there!"

He pointed emphatically. Amelia glanced at Xander.

Amelia: "Perhaps he's seeing something we can't."

Liam turned to them, his eyes reflecting a golden hue for a brief moment.

Liam: "Do you hear that?"

Amelia: "Hear what?"

Liam: "The trees are whispering."

Xander placed a hand on his shoulder.

Xander: "What are they saying?"

Liam: Softly "They say a change is coming."

Amelia felt a surge of concern.

Amelia: "Maybe we should head back home."

Liam: "Can we come back tomorrow?"
