Closing the front door of her father's home behind them after dropping James off at his grandfathers, Emma laced her fingers with Claire's and offered her a warm smile. Walking down the footpath, Emma felt the wind in her hair as two butterflies flew around just in front of her and Claire, appearing as if they were dancing together.
Crossing the road, Emma led them to the park and found them a large tree to sit under which had ample shade. Resting up against the trunk of the tree, Emma wrapped an arm around Claire and held her close, placing a gentle kiss on her temple.
"It's nice here and I get to spend some quality time with you," Claire said, taking in her surroundings.
"I forgot what alone time was like. I love you Claire, so much."
"I love you too, Emma."
Closing her eyes, Emma leaned in and captured Claire's lips with her own, smiling into the kiss.
