Days Like Today
She had trodden through the leaf-strewn forest so many times before. A path in a rather unknown and secluded part of the forest, it is peaceful there, she finds.
It is a place to think. A place to be alone and just do nothing as you watch the leaves fall and the birds overhead zip and dart in every which way like excited children.
She gently leans her back against a nearby tree, slowly lowering herself down onto a large pile of leaves at the tree's base. The clean autumn air is soothing, and the crunch of dried leaves is satisfying to hear.
Closing her eyes, she lets her senses overtake her.
She grins as she hears him draw near, his attempt to remain silent futile because of the leaves crunch that obviously signals his arrival.
A soft curse can be heard, and her grin widens.
"Took you long enough" she murmurs and opens her eyes to meet his.
Nobody wants be alone on a day like today.
I did have a particular pairing in mind when I wrote this, but this can apply to any pairing… so just think of your own.
review please?
