Sunlight through the leaves and a whole lot of cozy vibes today. Feeling like we found our perfect little corner – maybe it’s autumn after all! Loving this oversized knit and letting ourselves get los...

Here we are then. Not surprised, not really. Mored like hesitant approval than outright welcome, perhaps. That was a nice scarf, wasn’t it? The one with the subtle paisley – nothing too showy, didn't want to overwhelm the grey today. Though, sometimes a bit of colour wouldn’t hurt, would it? It feels like ages since we allowed ourselves any. A lifetime, almost. Feels like lifetimes ago when the leaves were turning those same shades of amber and gold, doesn't it? And he always had his hand there, warm against our skin.

We haven’t spoken much, of course. Just that small shift in posture earlier, him tilting his head ever so subtly to the left, like that – confirming, but not quite admitting. Always a distance, hasn’t there been? A comfortable distance, usually. Like welling water – familiar, necessary…but could be thirsty for something more.

This dress, though – velvet, dark green, comforting. Ours. Well, mostly ours. We loved the way it felt, smooth against the legs after hours spent curled up by the fire reading. Such simple pleasures, weren’-t there?

Now look at you. Aren’t you staring? Probably. Everyone does. It can be exhausting, letting yourself see us, isn't it? So many memories hanging about, caught in the folds of the fabric. A flicker of recognition in your eyes, like you remember the scent of woodsmoke and rain.

Don't move too quickly, don't be afraid. Just stand there. Let the quiet settle. He’s used to it, naturally. Maybe even enjoyed it, sometimes, that particular stillness. Wasn’t all bad, that life, not without its storms. Now, if only we knew which ones to fight…

So, yes? Do you think we shoulded?”

What do you think?! How did it capture the feeling of the photo? Would love to hear your thoughts!
