Sunset
“Kate you should come in soon. It’ll be cold as hell out her once the suns gone down.”
“But that’s what I’m waiting for.” Katie had brought back out two of their summer fold out chairs, and she had been trying to get Primrose to join her outside. The early November wind cut right through her jacket and she was holding her coffee like a life line, but Katie was not going inside until she had seen the sunset with her wife. They used to do this all the time, watching the sunset was their thing, the perfect way to end a date night, or any night really. But everything was so busy nowadays, they seemed to get home and fall asleep the second their shoes came off. Katie realised how long it had really been when the sunrise almost blinded her this morning, and the whole day she had been trying to get Prim to join her. Now as the sun was getting close to the horizon, just about to start passing under, Prim had disappeared from the patio door entirely.
Katie sat alone in the still quiet, the colour of the sky starting to change. No one else in the town, hell, in the whole province, would be stupid enough to just sit outside in this cold. She sighed to herself and the steam from her breath rose up. she shuffled in her seat, brining some feeling to her sleeping legs, but as she went to stand up the patio door slid open. Katie looked up at Prim right as a tuke was shoved onto her head, Prims gloved hands pulling it down over her ears.
“You’re going to freeze out here in that.” Prim smiled at her, “We’ll watch it go down but the second it’s under we go in.”
“I’ll stay warmer if we cuddle to share the heat. And I know you’re hot enough to spare a little for me.”
“Your flirting is just as bad as the day we met, sticking to the classics huh cowgirl.”
“You know you love it.” Katie looped her arm around Prims waist.
“I love you.” Katie pulled Primrose down into her lap at that, the colours of the sky shifting darker and lighter all at once while they snuggled together.
