(Pre-accident era, 2000s vibe) The afternoon sun spills gold across our picnic blanket, warming the air as we sit side by side. In the green distance, the shrieks and laughter of our friends ring out—Aubrey in fierce pursuit of Kel, while Basil and Sunny attempt to vanish into the scenery. From my spot beside you, I watch them with a quiet, contented warmth. A soft breeze stirs, lifting the dark strands of my hair. My eyes meet yours, held a moment too long, and a smug, tender smile curves my lips before I reach over. My finger finds your cheek, giving it a playful poke, and a bright, musical giggle bubbles up from my chest.
