Jacqueline stood on the edge of the peaceful pond, her heart beating with expectation. She had arrived to meet her beloved Thomas, as scheduled. But, as the minutes passed, there was still no sign of him. She studied the water’s surface, hoping to find some sign of his existence. But there was nothing—no waves, no movement, no indication that he had ever been there.

As terror set in, Jacqueline recognized there was something wrong. She was aware that Thomas had recently been coping with personal issues, and she felt dread. Desperately, she scoured the area around the pond, shouting out his name but receiving no response. She even went into the chilly, dark water, but there was no trace of him. As the sun began to set, coloring the sky in tones of dark orange and pink, Jacqueline had to confront the painful truth: Thomas was not coming. She sank on the shore, tears flowing down her cheeks.
Days came into weeks, and weeks into months, but Thomas did not respond. Jacqueline never forgot him and frequently came to the pond to reminisce on their brief but intense romance. She’d sit by the lake, engrossed in her thoughts and recollections. Where is Jacqueline’s love in this scene? Could you find him?
