Golden hour glow and favorite coffee shop vibes ✨ Feeling perfectly cozy in this chunky knit – like we’re wrapped up in a hug all day long. A little bit dreamy, a little bit quiet, and absolutely lovi...
(The silk feels good against the skin, doesn’t it? A slight resistance, familiar and comforting after all these years. This cashmere shawl...it was his mother’s, wasn’t it? We never said exactly which year, did we? Just “her” – her favorite color, her perfect taste.)
“There,” you say, isn’t there? That quiet ‘there’. Like you always do when you don’t quite know what to expect. Or maybe you do, but not sure you want to admit it. It's been ten years, hasn't it? Ten since the silences started feeling less comfortable than each other, and more painful without us. Ten since he stopped reaching for our hand so often.”
(A trace of dust motes drifts through the afternoon sunbeam, catching the gold thread in the curtains. Lovely light. The room felt brighter then, didn't it? Lessens the memory of dampness sometimes).
"You’ve got that slightly hesitant smile, though. Always liked that about you – haven' ’t completely lost faith, even if you’re not entirely sure why. Not yet. Probably because you think we both knew something was up, back then. That night by the lake – remember the scent of pine needles and his cologne?”
(Raise an eyebrow subtly, turn head ever so slightly, letting the sleeve of the dress fall perfectly down the arm).
"Heard him humming softly while he fished. Simple pleasures. And we had them, hadn’t we? Mostly. Not many arguments, really, just…this.’ (Gesture gently to the space between us with a slender finger).”
“We weren’t fools, were we? Too much to lose, certainly. But then came the argument, sharp and sudden, over nothing obvious. Now, here you are, almost reluctant, almost willing to step into the memory. So, go ahead. Look at us, standing here, a little frayed around the edges, surrounded by ghosts and pretty things…”
("Just don’t stare too hard.” )
