Golden hour glow and favorite sweaters – could this life be any better? Feeling cozy and content nestled up here with my fur baby (she approves, right?). Simple joys, beautiful moments… that’s what it...

“Here you are then,” she says, voice quiet tonight, almost hesitant. Like it was a surprising thing to expect, really. Not entirely unexpected, not. Just… here. The cable knit sweater smells faintly of woodsmoke and his scent used to, didn't it? Still does sometimes, if you pay attention. It wraps around us both, snug but not tight, much like the memory itself. A little prickly, certainly, those memories – hasn't everything been for a while.

We haven't said ‘goodnight’ properly in years, not truly. More often thanbs a silent nod when you pass by, a fleeting smile during family dinners, carefully masked behind a dozen other people's laughter. Did you notice the way the light caught your hair that time? All tousled, glorious messiness. We were standing near the window, weren't we? Rain on the glass, outside world oblivious to the simmering there.

This gaze isn’t particularly difficult, is it? Not unlike always. Bit wary, maybe. Always had a touch of wariness. This dress, for example, feels familiar – linen, a slight crease across the knee, taken since the last wash. Comfortable enough, though. Familiarity breeds acceptance, doesn’t it? And without too many questions asked. Which is good, because your questions were starting to get loud.

See, we hadn’t minded the silences back then. These ones can be a tadish stuffy, though. Like, did you bring something to hold over us? Perhaps? Or is it simply the lingering warmth of the fire, reflecting off your face?”

She turns her head slightly, letting the light catch the curve of her cheekbone, a hint of vulnerability in the wayness of her eyes. “So. Here you are.”

Now, let’ed hear your thoughts! Where should we place the camera...?
