The day was beautiful and Kelley and Rudy were doing their routine walk through the park together . They have been neighbors their whole lives and the park was their short cut home. Every day Rudy would wear the same worn out watch. Rudy checked his watch for the time.
“Hmm” Rudy said.
“What is it?” Kelley asked
“Oh, nothing… Same time as every other day.” Rudy said
“Yep, We always do walk together, I really like that watch by the way. It’s so … unique” Kelley said smiling at Rudy.
“Oh, this old thing? It’s been in my family for years. It’s been through a lot but I can always depend on it. It's been with me through a lot. Every day it is there, loyal, and beautiful."
“Yeah, when your mind gets muddled sometimes, it’s always good to have a watch to keep by your side, and help you go through life."
“Yeah I’ve loved this watch for so long that it’s currently the most important piece of my life, I know I sound a bit cliche but this watch and I have so much history together.” Rudy said looking at Kelley's feet.
“Wow. I’ve been looking for something as meaningful to me as that watch is to you.” Kelley said looking straight at him. " I mean, it doesn't have to be a watch. It could be a purse, or a pet, or...."
“No worries. I can help you find something meaningful, like this watch is for me. Just tell me whenever you want to, remember I'll always be next to you” Rudy said pointing at his house.
“Sounds like a wonderful idea” Kelley said placing his hand in her hand.
“ A great idea” He said.
