Golden hour glowin’ here! Feeling that cozy comfort today – oversized knit and perfect coffee - simple pleasures, right? Lately it’s been all about those quiet moments and embracing our favorite thing...

“There.” That’s what she said, didn’t she? A quiet ‘there’. Like it was obvious enough, then. Like the dust motes dancing in the late afternoon sun hadn’t been quite so blindingly clear to everyone else. This velvet feels good against the skin, doesn’t it? Not too fussy, not entirely comfortable. Just… familiar. It has been. For years, perhaps. Though sometimes it feels more like memory than reality, this feeling. The colour, of course, wasn’t always a deep teal. Used to be brighter, when he chose it – rather liked his confidence.

It’s funny, isn’t it? How easily everything can slip away. The laughter, the arguments, even the particular way he used to leave his socks. And yet, here you are. Standing there, all angles and hesitant curiosity. He hasn't stood here in ages. Or has he? Your eyes were definitely wondering about the state of the bookcase last time. Always did enjoy a bit of order, your father.

We haven' been sure why you’ve come back, really. Was it the anniversary? Our tenth without us? Doubtful. More likely a spark of guilt, a need to know if those who remained ever truly forgot. Maybe. We certainly weren’t shy about reminding them. Now, look at us, nestled into these cushions, almost oblivious to the world outside... except, perhaps, for the slight tightening around the throat every time the kettle whistles.

That little crinkle around the eye – that’s ours, isn’t it? From laughing once, a lifetime ago. Almost caught ourselves recently, during the rain. Such a simple thing, a shared smile after ten years of silence. So, don’t fidget. Take a breath. Let the stillness settle. Look at us. Isn’t it beautiful?”
