Golden hour glowin’ ✨ just right here in my favorite oversized sweater and a whole lot of cozy vibes. Feels good to keep it simple sometimes – like this picture perfect moment captured while wandering...

The silk feels cool against bare skin, doesn’t it? A little defiant, perhaps – definitely not too fussy for a Tuesday evening. It was a touch haphazard to throw on, really, didn’t want to seem too eager tonight. Just…right. For once. We haven’t said ‘just’ in so long, have we? Not since that summered by the sea, when everything felt golden even if it wasn’t.

There were traces of wine on your cheek, you know - yours, mostly. Didn't bother to brush them off then, did you? More than likely drifted into bed with the scent anyway. That familiar musk of woodsmoke and old books. We both loved that smell. Remembered, almost. Almost remembering the way it used to be.

You're staring now, aren’t you? Always do, but never quite at us. Like we're interesting wallpaper, perfectly acceptable background noise. A bit faded maybe, those edges around the edges... But still good enough. Aren’t we?

This look on your face though – wary. Slightly apprehensive. As if admitting we noticed each other back then wasn't quite brave enough. Not yet. We weren’t out yet. And there’, of course, is the question isn't there? The one hanging in the air thicker than the dust motes dancing in these beams of light filtering through the window. Did she say yes? To which ever version of ourselves we dared present.

A slight upturn to the corner of the mouth, then. Nothing dramatic. Just acknowledge the effort, don’t overthink it. Just breathe. Feels ages since last time.

So go ahead, stare. It hasn’t been entirely silent, has it? Now, let’s see if you can catch us this time."
