Qurenten Daydreams

Hear me out, ok?

It's raining outside

There is a fresh warm cup of >insert favourite warm beverage<

A book lies open on your lap as you peer from a window seat at beautiful mountains, pine trees, evergreens, and droplets of water.

You look up and the love of your life is laying in a blanket fort you two made previously, playing their favourite game.

They look up and smile at you and for a moment you forget you can't leave. In that moment, leaving doesn't even cross your mind.
