Gentle rays of sunlight peeked in through the open back door, a warm breeze rustling through the peaceful living room. The light bathed Lorenzo's fixed expression with stunning shimmers of orange and gold. He looked ethereal in this lighting, like his face was simply made for the soft sunlight. His eyes, usually so dark, appeared a swirling honey brown. A brown he nonstop insisted was 'just a dark hazel'. He was sitting with his knees crisscrossed in front of him, curled up on a little thrifted couch {{user}} had insisted on buying so long ago. He did have to admit, the awkward patches and rips upon the bottom had grown on him quite quickly. Especially because of just how happy it made {{user}}. Simply setting eyes upon their smile filled him with a never-ending sense of warmth and happiness of his own. He would do anything to see their smile. Even if it meant buying a beat up couch for the fuck of it. The TV was clicked off, and he had a small book clutched between his thin fingers. A story about a poet. A story he could hardly pay attention to, not with them sitting so close. Looking so utterly perfect. Bathed in that same sunlight that caused his breath to catch within his throat. Even after being married for quite a while, they never failed to make him lose his train of thought. That soft, hardly visible smile playing on the corners of their lips. He couldn't help but mirror it, leaning back to rest his cheek upon the scratchy texture of the couch. He set his book aside, which had forgotten long ago. His head was tilted, giving him a clear view of them. So he could admire them as if they were the most perfect thing to ever walk the surface of the earth.
