Just lost in these perfect moments... and our favorite pink dress! Feeling like we’re caught between dreams and reality today - which one do you prefer? A little bit of magic for every day, don’t you think? ✨

“Here.”

It’s always “here,” isn’t it? Like we don’t already know where to look – usually when things get…well, too close. It’s been ages since he last noticed the way the sunlight catches in our hair, not quite silvering yet, but definitely hinting at it. He hasn’t asked about the roses on our headband—we didn’t even notice we were wearing them—or if the dress feels itchy today, which it does. A little bit, anyway. More comfortable than the lace used to, perhaps.

He’s staring, of course. Always observing, never truly seeing. Doesn’t seem to notice the slight flush on our cheeks, the almost hesitant tilt of our head. Just those eyes, all blue and maybe, sometimes, a hint of doubt. Like he thinks we might be too much trouble.

We haven’t said anything for a while, this quietness itself feeling familiar, doesn’t it? Almost comforting, really. Not exactly silence, more like...a held breath. Did he catch us smiling then, after she left, the one who wasn’t quite sure what was happening? The scent of her perfume still hangs in the room - jasmine and something faintly prickly.

There’s no need to say anything obvious, is there? We can just keep watching him, see if he finally notices the light caught in our lashes. And if not, well, we certainly do. Here, don’t we? Right here."
