How we got here
Seven years, four chapters.
Spring 2019
The bookstore.
Both reaching for the last copy of the same novel. Theo let June have it. June never gave it back.
Winter 2021
The blizzard apartment.
Three days snowed in with one deck of cards. By day two we had house rules. By day three we had plans.
Summer 2024
The yes.
On the trail where we always turn around. This time we didn't — the overlook had a question waiting.
October 2026
The day.
Willow Creek Farm, golden hour, everyone we love in one field.
