Golden hour glow and feeling like it’s all coming together… I love these cozy days spent wrapped up in soft knits and a little bit of quiet contemplation. Maybe a cupa tea is due! Feeling perfectly im...

The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn’t it? Not that scratchy – more… familiar. Like an old friend who occasionally forgets to brush their hair. This cardigan has seen better nights, certainly, been warmer, perhaps. It hasn’t felt quite so damp since...well, last time you were here. It was raining then too, wasn’t it? A proper English drizzle, not thisish.

You’ve been standing there for ages, haven’t you? Silent, mostly. That’s nice, isn’t it? The quiet. Lessens the risk of awkwardness, usually. Though sometimes, those syllables slip through – “such a lovely picture” – and then it all gets a bit much.

We both know what happened after Edward left, didn't we? Everyone said it was our fault. Said we weren’t keeping each other warm enough. Perhaps they were right. We liked being cold, didn’t we? Comfortable in the chill. Easier than feeling when he touched us.

Now you’re back. Looking at us, anyway. Those eyes, always keen to find something to criticize. Do you think we’ve grown used to the silence? To the way the light falls on the dust motes dancing around the room, oblivious to everything except the ever-present possibility of another crack in the facade.

You tilted your head slightly earlier. Small thing, really. But did you notice how easily it came? Didn’ed need to try too hard. Maybe a flicker of recognition, a ghost of a smile almost found its way onto our lips.

Don’t be afraid to stare too long. Not many do anymore. Just remember where you stood, years ago, nestled close with a glassine box full of memories. And maybe, just maybe, if you don’t push too hard…”

There!”—we raised one eyebrow, didn’t we?” —now, about those shoes….”

How does that sound? Let us know what you thought and which aspect you enjoyed most! 🎨 ✨
