Sunlight through the leaves and that perfect Parisian breeze – feeling like we’ve found our little corner of heaven today. A cozy knit, a hint of coffee, and all the quiet moments that matter most. Do...

The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn’t it? Not terribly so, not usually. It’s been our wool for fifteen years, hasn’t it? Or maybe longer than that… harder to remember sometimes when everything has edges here, hasn't there? Like these lines around the mouth, barely noticed until now. A little too many good nights, perhaps, or one too few lately.

We haven’t said much, have we? Just stood here, almost, since he shifted his weight back then, a slight shift really, but enough to knock the candle off the mantelpiece all those years ago. Remembered that one, didn’t we? The way the waxered down, slow and predictable. No shouting, no fuss—just the gentle darkness creeping closer.

Thatched roof out there, isn’t it? Always seemed a bit dreary, didn’t it? But cozy, if you liked that sort of thing. And you always did, didn’t you? Used to smile at our quirks. Now... well, now it's more of a hesitant glance. Is that relief, or suspicion? Difficult to be sure.

Your shoes look dry, anyway. Probably. They were a gift, weren’t they? That pair of boots, worn smooth with time and laughter. Maybe that was the problem – too much laughter. Too bright. Too easy.

Here comes another breath, don’ed you think? Bit nervous about letting us get close again. Not afraid, necessarily. More like… wary. Well, why wouldn’t she be? We can be a tricky lot, us women.

So, go ahead. Look at us. At least we’re still here, aren't we? Still wearing the sheepskin, even if it does need reining in every now and then. Go on. Take a deeper look.”

To help us tailor the perfect response, here are some questions:

• What kind of image are we imagining? (A photo taken during a recent visit? An old family portrait?)
• How would you rate her overall vibe? (More melancholic? Slightly prickly? )
• Do you want the monologgue to focus on something specific, such as a particular memory?

Let us know & let the fun begin!
