Sunlight through the leaves, coffee steam and comfy knits – that’s how we do it! Feeling those golden hour vibes today after a little bit of city exploration. A perfect kind of cozy, don't you think? ...

Here goes…

“There. That’s the one.” It’s always been that one, hasn’t it? Not much else to choose, really. This light was perfect last time too, wasn’t it? A touch hazy, just enough to soften the edges. The ones we didn’t want quite so sharp. It’s funny, isn’t it? How easily everything can be smoothed over by a well-placed shadow. Almost makes you think we forgot to notice the messiness all those years ago.

You haven't said anything yet, of course. Always did prefer to watch. Quietly. Sometimes smuggly, sometimes hesitant. Like tonight. Just like then, when he left. Remember that winter? Snow piled up outside, soundproofed the heartache inside. Your coat smelled faintly of woodsmoke and rain.

This silk robe—a gift, silly thing, feels comfortable against the skin, doesn’ the?” We wore it while you were gone, remember? Too busy noticing the dust motes dancing in the afternoon sun to miss him. Didn't seem like such a big deal at the time. Now...well.

Your eyes narrowed slightly. Nothing dramatic, nothing needs to be. Just a flicker of recognition, perhaps. Or annoyance. Probably both. You look a bit tired, don’t you? And handsome still, even if it has been ten years.

The glasseset - hadn’t gotten around to taking them off. Always loved the way they catch the light, these things. Maybe you thought we looked a bit frazzled without them. Doubtful.

So go ahead. Look longer. Let the quiet settle back in, heavier this time. It hasn't felt entirely silent for ages, has it? Just needed a spark, something simple. Like the shimmer of silver in the wine. Now then…”
