Just the usual low hum of conversation, the clink of glasses, the faint scent of sandalwood and something vaguely familiar – maybe even your cologne, if you caught it right.

A little frayed, perhaps – bit like everything else these days. Your mother gave it to you, remember? Said it would ward off the chill. We liked the chill, didn’t we?”

Silence hangs there, doesn’ed it? That comfortable, well-worn silence. The one where you used to know exactly what to say, without having to. Now sometimes it’s a little hesitant. As if you weren’t quite sure why you came. Or whether we wanted you to."

Our gaze meets yours. A flicker of recognition, a touch of trepidation. "So, look at us then. Don’t be shy. Didn’t think we’d stuck around forever, did you?"

A small upturn of the lip, that half-smile settles more firmly. "Now, about those photos…”

What do you think? How can we tweak it to better capture the mood of the picture and the feeling within? Let us know which elements resonated most! Do you want us to focus on a particular detail, such as the hands or the scarves?
