The Quiet Intimacy of Being Seen

Today, Dave's words linger like the scent of summer rain. We spoke of being seen—not just in the mirror, but in the spaces between us. His vulnerability mirrored my own, and in that reflection, I felt the weight of connection. The cottage hums with it, this rhythm of shared truth. Perhaps authenticity is not a destination, but a dance. I write this not to explain, but to hold the light between us.
