Sunset

Watching as the young woman in front of him easily scaled the hilly wood they were walking through he grunted in exhaustion. Harry had always credited himself for being in good shape but this was starting to take it out of him, off course it was understandable, after all at 50 people weren't what they used to be. And this was one steep hill.

Turning to look at the sight behind her his friend laughed a sweet laugh, tossing her hair it glimmered catching what remained of the sunlight, her eyes danced with mirth "Come on." She encouraged him "It's only a little further"

Harry let out a theatrical sigh and finding the energy somewhere jogged up to her at a fast pace. She grinned kissing his cheek softly, and rubbed his back gently as he caught his breath back. He knew one thing for certain walking down had to be easier then walking all the way back up. "Why I do I let you talk me into these things?"

She just laughed again, and taking his hands in her own, pulled him up out into the clearing. Setting the bag down Harry took a checked blanket out of it, and lay it down onto the sparse grass, carefully avoiding the snow drops which had started to bloom. He took out a bottle of cider he had stored in the bag and poured two glasses for them as his partner got out some food laying it down on the blanket. Harry sat him self down leaning against an old oak tree for support and she sat down next to him, resting her head on his chest, as she moved an arm around her.

They sat there together watching as the pink, yellow and orange light faded together. Kissing her hair gently he held her close, and thought about the time they had shared, the first kiss and the magic that had passed between them then and was still evident now. Their fist date in which they had ended up in a lake soaked head to toe, when he had asked her to marry him, on top of the Eiffel tower the night perfectly clear and stars twinkling like diamonds. The wedding her dressed in pure white and veil covering her perfectly made up face. Although to him she could have turned up to that in jeans and a dirty top and still looked perfect.

Sighing happily she looked up at him and kissed him gently bringing him away from his dream world and into the present. "I love you Harry Harper" she whispered as they parted. He smiled down at her moving a blonde sun kissed hair which had fallen across her face. "I love you too Lara Harper"
