Sunlight through the gauziest of linens – that’s how it's done! Feeling perfectly cozy and content today, wrapped up in this soft knit sweater and dreaming of autumn mornings. A little bit of quiet ch...

The silk feels cool against the skin, doesn't it? Not necessarily comfortable, not always – more…protective. A shield, perhaps, after all these years. Or maybe just tired of being too exposed. That skirt has seen its fair share of dustings, hasn’t it? It’s been a while since anyone bothered to brush it off for us.

There was a scent, hadn’t there? Just last week, a whiff of sandalwood and rain. Your cologne, faintly lingering on the rug, which seems ridiculous now, doesn’t it? Like a ghost of a memory that shouldn’t quite be so vivid. We were arguing, subtly enough, about whether the wine shoulded on the glass or if that was simply the light. Such small things, really, weren’t they? So many small things that seemed to matter then - everything did.

Now…now it’s mostly quiet. This house certainly isn’t noisy, not with you. Which can be nice sometimes, a welcome change from the restless energy of yesterday evening when you left without another word. Though, wasn’t that expected? Almost predictable, even.

Your eyes, though. They’re searching again, aren’t they? Not exactly hopeful, not yet. More like curiosity mixed with a little bit of guilt. Did you think we would remember? We didn’t expect you to, not really.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? How easily we let ourselves be caught. See, you’re staring, almost unconsciously. As if you’ve forgotten how to look away. And us, well, we haven't completely forgotten about you either. Haven’t we?

So go ahead, stare. Let yourself get close. A flicker of recognition in our gaze wouldn’t hurt, would it? After all, we’ve had ages.”

Let us know: Do you like the feeling of the piece? Would you like us to tweak anything, or give it a different focus?

To help us out, here are some questions:

• What do you think of the mood? Is it melancholic, hopeful, tense...?
• Which element of the visual description resonates most (the dress, the eye contact)?
• Do you agree with our interpretation of her thought process?
