Caroline shuffled around in her seat. Nerves had the best of her. The camera crew's lights were in her eyes and the heat of the bulbs increased her tension. She coughed to break the silence. A petite sound. "What was the question?" she asked.
One of the crew read over a sheet of paper on the cue card and said, "If you could travel anywhere in the world, where and why?”
The last remnants of color dripped from Caroline's face. She thought back to her life. Her travels. It was empty. Where would she go? She'd never thought much about traveling, but the idea appealed to her. A tiny spark lit in her and she felt the words start to bubble out of her. "I'll admit it," she said. "I've never traveled much. I was born in Brindleton Bay and then moved to San Myshuno after college. I thought San Myshuno could offer all the different experiences I could ever want, but I want more."
Caroline could feel the muscles in her cheeks pull her face into a grin. The warm sunny environment was more stunning than she had imagined.
She unknotted her hands and lifted them, making wide sweeping motions as she said, "Coming here to Sulani has been amazing. It's gorgeous and fantastic and I want to experience everything it has to offer." There was no stopping her now. She stood up and placed a finger to her lip.
The camera crew asked her to sit back down. She obliged, but there was so much energy in her she teetered at the edge of the seat instead of sitting back. "So it's going to sound a little silly to say that out of all the places I want to go to next: It's Willow Creek," she said and laughed. "I know. Willow Creek is a quaint little no where town, but when I was a kid my Mom used to tell me stories. She was from Willow Creek and there was a legend that there is a portal to the elven world there. The Sylvan Glade. A gorgeous place with a waterfall and pink blossomed trees. I don't know if it exists, maybe it was just a fairy tale, but I'd love to explore my roots and search for something more. I think I'd find magic just traveling to a new place and exploring it to its fullest, and that thought makes me really happy."
