#just a pair of unimaginably senior citizens who are still embarrassingly in love with each other... sobs forever

[luminarai]

A remix gift for the marvellous @werebearbearbar who hit me right in the soul with this passage from let me come along:

Beyond the house, the landscape ambles over fields and small hills until it meets the sea. They're not close enough to hear the surf, but the air has a salt tang, and the mid-afternoon light paints a warm, caramel stripe across the wood floor. Real wood, Joe notes.

Turning, Nicky stares at Joe, his eyes wide and yearning.

"We'll get two chairs," Joe says. "And we'll put them right by that window."

Someone loved this place; they can feel it in the bones of the house. They'll love it too, and love each other under its eaves. Maybe whoever lives here next will feel Joe and Nicky’s love in the doorposts and lintels.
