Holly always felt that there was something magical and mysterious about the stream, and had explored every inch of the stream when she was younger and lived with her parents. When she was a little older, her father had taught her how to fish, and they fished together for many years. Now that she lived in the city, she found the peace and quiet of the mountains relaxing, and a well deserved break from her stressful job in the city, and went to visit her father at his cabin in the mountains as often as she could. Holly's father had retired many years ago and had the cabin in the mountains built to his specifications. Her father and mother had planned on leaving the city life behind long ago, but one thing or another held them back. Holly's mother had been killed in a car accident nine years ago, and her father blamed himself for not retiring sooner and taking his wife to the mountains that she loved so much. Her life in the city always revolved around her work in advertising, and it seemed that she worked day and night to meet production deadlines for the company, and had little time for herself. Holly realized that her life was going to be fast-paced and hectic when she first started the company, but sometimes wished that she hadn't taken on so much. Holly's father had always been proud of her, her achievements, and her success, but told her that she always needed to take time for herself too. She knew that he was right, he always had been, but it was almost impossible for her to walk away from the company that she had worked so hard to build, even if it was just for a few days. She met a man through her advertising business and developed a working relationship with him attempting to turn his unsuccessful business around, and gradually fell in love with him. Although she thought that she had found true love with a good man, their lives were changed forever when the young boy came into their lives.
