refused
to accept that Creativity could see things that weren’t really
there, like her garden growing wild in Spring, or her planned Halloween
costume that at the time was only an idea in her head. He called
her a liar. She called him blind. But in the end, no matter how
severe their fight became, they always made up, never saying they’re
sorry, just accepting their great differences. In short, they grew
