Animal Crossing: Goldie x Cherry Moodboard

In the dark night air I felt my neck prickle. A shadow fell over me. I turned my head up to see Gregory smiling down at me, holding his jacket over our heads. My eyes went from his face to the clouds above him, thick and heavy and suddenly pouring out all of the rain they held. The sound of the raindrops hitting his jacket intensified quickly. I moved a little closer to his chest, and felt the smile on my face.

Love had found me uninvited, shown up like a stray dog in my backyard and refused to leave till I fed it everything I had. And like I would adopt a stray, I had adopted love into my otherwise unmoving heart. His permanence gave me stability. His silent demeanor quieted the critical thoughts that had stopped me from pursuing love, had made it easy to let silence be silence and not a fight for dominance.

«Not tonight, though, no. I wouldn’t tell him tonight. Tonight I unbuckled my seatbelt, moved my hand to his arm, stroking it soothingly until it held onto the shirt sleeve and stopped everything in the world, the ocean, the galaxy.»
