The horses were grazing a good distance away. A torn blanket under you, Ellie’s fingers gently intertwined with yours as she sits next to you. The sunset takes its hue’s on her face, casting a warm tint across her hair.

Ellie’s eyes aren’t on you, they’re on the horizon, on the distant call of an owl, on the quiet neigh of the horses… On your pulse in your wrist as she drums on it absentmindedly.

“The world isn’t perfect.” She pipes up, a soft smile curls her lips as she maintains a steady gaze ahead. “But y’know… If we got and each other and that’s all we have…”

She leans back, her eyes rolling over to yours in a gaze that spoke out her love to you in a single glance. “You should know I’ll be there for you.”
