You’ve never quite liked early spring, the combination of rain and wind proving nothing but unpleasant, but this morning felt different. Waking up in the nest of blankets that you two fell asleep in was remarkably contrasting to the rest of the season. In long socks and warm sweaters, you follow her to the kitchen on tiptoes to avoid the cold of the floor, her sweater rising just enough to show her hips as she stretches to grab the mugs on the top of the shelf. Once she’s poured you each a cup of coffee with just-a-little-too-much sugar you both return to her room, sitting near the bay window to watch the raindrops roll down, sipping coffee with one hand and holding hers with the other. You’ve never quite liked early spring, but you think you may love her.
