Golden hour glow and oversized knit perfection - that’s what it’s all about! Feeling cozy and content nestled up here at home, sipping tea and letting the world drift by. Simple pleasures, right? Let ...
The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn't it? Not unpleasant, not really—it should be comforting, all these years ago when Mama picked out this teal cardigan, said it was ‘perfect for a northern winter’. Though sometimes, especially when it’s cold like this…like it always seems to be. It's been a while since we felt the chill together, hasn’t it? A good few, considering. That little boy used to burrow into your coat then, didn’t he? All golden hair and chubby cheeks. Remember the way his nose would wrinkle if you weren’t quite quick enough with the biscuit.
You’re staring, aren't you? Didn’t think you were. We usually manage well enough without noticing each other, don’t we? Comfortable distance, like a familiar shadow. Maybe even a touch wary. It wasn’t that bad, did it? Just a bit messy, perhaps. Everyone thought so. The silences tend to linger longer than they need to, those ones. Like after the argument about the gardenias – you knew she loved them, but we needed space to breathe, hadn'ted we?
Your eyes are a nice shade today. Less blue than last time, more grey. Like rain. And maybe, just maybe, you noticed the way the light catches the threads of the carding. Or maybe not.
We haven'’t spoken much, obviously. Always have avoided speaking too much. Too many memories hanging around, catching the light. This posture...a little defensive, wouldn't you say? Hand in pocket, keeps us close to ourselves. Almost forgot we were, until now.
A hint of curiosity there, though. No judgement. Just…observation. Which is refreshing, isn’t it? After all these years, that simple acknowledgement. So go ahead. Take another look. Let’s see if you remember how to smile.”
