Love @cwen's storyline! And thanks @adsactly for this terrific opportunity to write. Here's my proposal summary for the middle part:
Thud! She crashed to the ground, knocked down by the falling branch. By the time she regained her senses, it was mid afternoon. The smell of dry grass and the potpourri of freshly dried flowers assaulted her. Gradually regaining her senses, but still feeling severely disoriented, she opened an eye to look around her.
D**n! I'm still alive? Her head throbbed as if in response. She was going to have a migraine attack soon. Sighing loudly, she turned over so she could push herself to a seated position. Uggh! There was something caught up in her right shoe. Cold. Metallic. She pulled it out and squinted at it. What is this weird thing? It seems to be reflecting all the light of the mountain sun straight at me.
Recognition hit then, relegating her physical pain and emotional heartache to the background. It was a coin! A gold one! She was knowledgeable enough to recognize one when she saw one.
A few minutes later, with a smile playing on her lips, she put her phone back into her pocket and went about looking for more.
She didn't think her husband such an as***le as he had just claimed to be.
