Sunlight through the leaves and that perfect oversized sweater - feeling like we’ve found our little haven today. A bit cozy, definitely dreamy, and utterly content just being here. Coffee cup in hand...

Here we go...

“Ah, there you are then.” That’s usually how it starts, isn’t it? A little hesitant footfall, a slight narrowing of the eyes – not quite disapproval, more… expectation. Like we both knew something was brewing back then, didn’t we? Before the rain started to fall, naturally. It always does eventually. This cashmere feels good against the skin, doesn't it? Not too precious, though. We haven’t been for years, so no need to be too comfortable.

These boots were a bargain, really. Burgundy leather, perfectly scuffed – evidence of adventures, even if those weren’t always the grandest. Remember Paris? The one where you forgot to pack your scarf. Silly thing, your scarf. Always did get in the way.

This gaze, of course. You think it’s critical, don’t you? Always thinking about the details, the things that went wrong. As if it wasn’t us, of course. Or maybe it was. Maybe it was everything.

We look different now, don't we? Slightly harder around the edges. Less willing to admit when the tea was lukewarm. But still, still here. Nestled into this armchair, by the fire, feeling rather smug despite ourselves.

So, what do you see? Nostalgia? Perhaps a hint of resentment? Doubtful. Probably just a touch of hope tucked away under all the quietness. And certainly, a touch of curiosity. After all, it has been a while since we last asked each other ‘what’s for dinner?’ ”

Now over to you—how did we do? Would you like us to tweak anything in particular? Let us know!
