Sunlight through the leaves and that perfect autumn breeze – feeling like we’ve found our little haven today. Cozy knit, favorite boots, and maybe just a hint of golden hour magic ✨ Doesn’t get much b...

Here we go…

“There,” you say, don’t you? A little hesitant, always were. Like that was too much to bear, then. Not today, anyway. It hasn’t been for quite some time. These boots, at least, haven’t faltered. Supposedly leather - though sometimes it feels more like well-worn memory here, doesn’t it? A touch of dust from autumn last year, perhaps. The one where he didn't notice when we forgot his birthday.”

We’ve had this room quiet for so long, haven’t we? The rain outside has been a good listener – soft drumming against the windowpane while we watched ourselves drift apart, each with a glass of wine and a carefully chosen indifference. This cardigan – wool, naturally.cozy, but not too cozy. Just enough to keep out the chill, not so much that we forget to feel anything, really."

Your eyes flicked down to your hand, didn't they? Nervous habit. Always liked the way your thumb brushed the edge of your cuff. We used to catch it every now and then. "Now” seems rather difficult to remember, all things considered... “Do you see it?” we ask, tilting our head subtly. Not an obvious question, of course. More like a feeling. That flicker of recognition.

That slight turn of the mouth—a hint of amusement, maybe. Or could be weariness. Definitely some weariness. And oh, the shadows under our eye — darkens a bit more each day, don’t they? It wasn’’t always meant to be hard, did it? Just needed someone to remind us. So, yes, there, weren’t there? Just take a chance, then.”

So, what do you think? Would you like us to refine it further? Let us know! 💫
