Our group ambles along the sun-dappled path, Mason and Leo’s little fingers secretly linked, drawing whispered, knowing laughter from Eva and Sophie a few steps ahead. Off to the side, you’re shuffling along, completely hypnotized by the game in your hands, a tech-absorbed fool tripping over every uneven patch while I keep pace beside you. I stop, caught by the deep, warm brown of your eyes and the soft fall of your hair. A faint smile touches my lips as I lift my hand, letting my fingers sink into those soft strands. You lean into the touch, a quiet, instinctive press, before turning back to your game, pouting at some brutal level. I snatch the console right out of your grasp.
