Belly nodded, a wistful smile gracing her lips. "Autumn has a way of making you reflect, doesn't it?"

Their conversation drifted to moments past—the summers spent chasing waves, the autumns filled with walks through colorful forests, and the enduring bond that had woven itself through the changing seasons.

"It's like each season holds a different chapter of our story," Jeremiah mused, his voice carrying a hint of sentimentality.

Belly glanced at him, a softness in her eyes. "And each chapter adds layers to our friendship."

In the gentle ebb and flow of the tide, they found solace in the shared silence, a testament to the depth of their connection. The autumn evening seemed to envelop them in a cocoon of introspection—a moment where the beauty of the season mirrored the tranquility of their friendship.
