Golden hour glowin’ here! Feeling cozy and content wrapped up in this favorite knit sweater – it feels like autumn already, doesn’t it? A little bit of rain outside, perfect comfort inside. Just us an...

There. That’s it, isn’t it? The way you always liked it—a bit loose around the neck, allowing for a certain… vulnerability. Though, do we really want to admit that?

This cream cashmere – perfectly practical, doesn’t wrinkle, didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Too perfect perhaps. Like everything.

We haven’t said much, naturally. Justed sitting here then, hadn't there? By the log by the lake, rain threatening but never quite arriving. Your back was turned most of the time, weren’t it? Lost in those thoughts of yours — always were. Which wasn't necessarily bad. Usually meant we weren’t staring too hard.

Now, of course, you’re looking again. A hesitant look. Not surprised exactly, more... expectant. As if you expect us to remember when the last leaf fell, or when the wine started to warm up. We did, didn't we? A glass spilled near the fireplace, laughter after the sparks had flown. Did you hear the ice melt?

That flicker in your eye. Recognition. Or maybe just curiosity about whether we still wear these skirts. Maybe that’s why you've come back, even. Not entirely sure yourself.

So, go ahead. Look longer. Let the silence settle, thick with dust and half-remembered promises. Go on, then. Dare to meet our gaze."
