Tyra loves walking with Grampa. He dotes on her, giving her sweets every chance he can. Tyra knows that Mommy knows he does it, but she doesn't say anything about it. Now she pulls Grampa along as they make their way down a slightly used tunnel.

After walking a few minutes, Grampa takes her off on another side tunnel, and suddenly Tyra is looking out over an underground lake, lit softly with lights she can't see. Excited, Tyra runs down to the edge of the water and begins playing in the water. The water is cold, but Tyra splashes happily, throwing small rocks in the water and getting her toes wet.

As she is playing, Grampa picks up a rock and throws it in. Instead of making a splash and sinking, though, the rock skips across the surface of the water several times, before eventually disappearing. Tyra shouts, "Do it agin, Grampa!" He does it several more times, before Tyra begins trying it herself, throwing rocks in where Grampa did, but they just sink.

After a while, Grampa takes her hand and begins leading them back to the rooms they call home. As they walk, Grampa says to her, "You know your mother loves you very much." Tyra nods sagely. Grampa continues, "She hasn't told you or me yet, but changes are coming for her, and for you. I remember your Grandmother, who you never met... Anyway, Tyra, sweetheart, no matter what happens, your mother won't love you any less. You can never run out of love."

Grampa sometimes said funny things like that. Tyra nods, and skips on ahead. She recognizes where they are, and she knows the way back to their rooms. She looks back, keeping Grampa in sight. Tyra knows that soon she will see Mommy. Maybe Daddy will be there too, and they can go back to their real home. Tyra runs to the door, just in case he is there. She wants to see him real soon.
