She looked into his gray eyes, captivated, taking in their beauty, and thinking about how she could stare at them for hours. He gazed into her dark brown eyes in admiration, thinking about how they turn hazel in the sunlight. Sunlight or no sunlight, it was easy to get lost in them.
Their closeness brought them warmth. Their closeness brought them comfort.
The two stood there, standing still, in the midst of chaos. The sounds of cars speeding by, the people shouting, the baby boy crying -none of it mattered because in that moment, they felt like there was nothing around them. In that moment, there was no place they’d rather be.
The boy softly placed his hands on her face, each hand on an opposite side.
“This,” he breathed, “Your presence. Your love… It’s everything I want. It’s everything I need.”
