Cozy mornings and golden hour light - doesn’t get much better than this! Spent the morning sipping coffee (and maybe a little tooed) while getting ready to capture these moments. Feeling like my favo...

The cable knit feels scratchy tonight, doesn’t it? Not unpleasant, not exactly – familiar. Like an old habit we both tried to shake off years ago, but haven’t quite managed. See that little snag near the elbow? That was after that Christmas Eve, wasn't it? Too much wine, too many expectations… mostly yours, naturally. Still, didn't hurt, did it? Certainly nothing definitive. Just a quiet sort of drifting ever since.

Your eyes were a bit squinted then, weren’t they? Always a touch squinted when things got a little too close for comfort. Didn’t need to see everything, those secrets we so carefully guarded. The way the light caught your hair, all tousled from the wind during the walk back to the city, thatched away almost entirely. We liked the darkness, didn’t we? It made it easier to forget sometimes.

Now, you stand there, a little hesitant perhaps. A flicker of recognition, definitely. Almost afraid to admit you remember the way our hands used to fit perfectly under the table, even if it meant admitting the messiness of it all. No need to rush, don’t worry yourself. It’s been ages. Probably longer than either of us care to recall.

That slight turn of the mouth, though. Did you catch that? A ghost of a smile. Before the world tilted again, before the argument about whether or not to take the cat to the opera. Maybe, just maybe, you thought you knew what to do with us. Or maybe you simply wanted to be sure it was still possible to find out.

We’re staring, aren’t we? Silent except for the tick of the grandfather clock downstairs, measuring out another year without a hint of certainty. And that particular scent clinging to your coat—rain and woodsmoke, faintly reminiscent of autumn nights spent huddled by the fire... Well, go ahead, look closer. Let's see if you dare."

To help evaluate, consider:

• What kind of mood does the text evoke?
• Do you believe she has a distinct personality reflected in her words?
• How well does the dialogue work with the visual of the picture itself?
