She's not new at love. When she was younger, still naïve and simple and idealistically kind, she fell in love with every kiss, with every electric touch of a man's hand on her hip. It's years of mutual loneliness that carry her sometimes, years of wondering about what went on behind that other person's skull, years of wondering if that really mattered as long as she was loved for a moment. These days, she considers herself experienced, knowledgeable even, when it comes to love. Her employer laughs at her when they talk about it after hours, about their days and their minds. He isn't new at life, either; the years of heartbreak and loneliness are carved into the lines on the back of his hands. But he speaks so plainly she begins to know him like herself. She can tell his mood from the way he brushes his hand on her shoulder when he needs her attention, and she can tell he is in love with someone when he picks up his guitar. Her experience tells her he loves someone.
But he had to tell her that his someone was her.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
Wow, it's been forever since I added anything. I rather forgot about this, to be honest… Anyway, here we are again! This couple's maybe a little difficult, but it's Griffin and Muffy, from Wonderful Life/DS! A Wonderful Life was the first Harvest Moon game I ever played, so even though I prefer every other title in the series now, it still holds a special place in my heart. :)
