Bel sat on the edge of the river looking up at the waterfall cascading down from above her. The feeling remaining with her, why she felt it she knew not. Maybe it was because Hiroki was now long an adult, that had to be it!, Bel didn't have a partner, and no partner meant no kids right? But Hiroki still lived in the house, he'd not moved out, so why was it she was felt the empty nest feeling. She'd discussed the whole thing with her mellon,he seemed concerned. A couple days later the mellon came to her with a bottle, it was nearly as big as he was, he told her it was a drought that would help how she felt.So now here she was holding the potion by the neck of the bottle in one hand letting it tap lightly against her leg and watching the water come down and splash into the pool below. After a while of sitting there she looked at the bottle "How is a drink going to help me" she questioned noone. She pulled the cork on the bottle and took a sniff, it wasn't a particularly sweet smell, nor a foul odor either. She swirled the liquid a bit in the jar watching it swirl around. "Well I guess it can't hurt me, he wouldn't give it to me if it would" again speaking to no-one as she did. She lifted the bottle to her lips and took a swig. It wasn't too bad actually, it had just enough flavour to make it appetizing but not overly potent. Before Bel knew it the bottle was empty and laying on the grass beside her and she was laying relaxed on the grass beside it her eyes closed and a soft expression of contentment on her lips as she hummed a random tune to the pattern of the sounds the water made hitting the pool.
