in all ways, it was the perfect early evening. fall was in the air, despite temperatures that continued to slide further into the 80s. sam could always tell when autumn was just around the corner; even if he didn't have a sense for it, there was always a certain smell in the air, a scent that carried on green leaves just starting to tease at their downfall. he'd set everything up to his own high standards: cashmere blanket beneath them, vintage woven basket holding food and drink, including one of their favorites — a pumpkin spice latte, but better than any mainstream company could make. harley answered in such a genuine way, it made sam smile as he sipped from his cup. 'i ask only for selfish reasons,' he finally replied, glancing over harley's features with a softness he very rarely held for any individual human. he was fine with sounding cliché, so he truly felt as if she was special. something within her aligned with something within him. whether it be the chaos, the love for the season, or something else, sam didn't care. he simply enjoyed harley's presence. 'i rarely ask and rarely have anyone say they enjoy my company, and so, i like to hear you say it . . . is that horrible to say aloud?'
