Sunlight through the leaves, coffee steaming – not much to do but cozy up and soak it all in. Feeling like this today - comfortable in our own skin (and these perfectly worn-in boots!). A little bit o...

Not since the argument about the rose bushes – yours weren’t quite righting after all.
You’re not sure why you’ve come, really. Maybe to check if we still remember how to breathe together, these many years later. Or maybe just curiosity, masked as obligation. And certainly no expectation of fireworks, that would be uncomfortable.
Your gaze has been hesitant, hasn’t it? Not unkindly, not exactly. More like a question hanging in the air, wrapped up with a hint of trepidation. Like you were wondering if we’d forgotten you. Well, we haven’t entirely, have we? Justed tucked it away neatly enough.
A slight upturn of the lips, then. That's good. Small victories. The silver necklace catches the light beautifully – inherited, naturally. Almost looks inviting, doesn't it? Go on then... don’t stand there staring, do look at us.”
