The sound of the cicadas sing over the silence of night — their song the soundtrack for the midsummer night — as you sway gently on the porch swing with your most favorite person.
She’s looking off in the distance as you swing, lost in thought, a soft smile playing on her face that calms the anxious voice often in your head. It’s that type of beautiful smile that brightens up her face, giving you a glimpse into her soul.
You’re completely absorbed in her presence, the way she effortlessly illuminates the world with her beauty — both inside and out. The gentle rhythm of the swing lulls you into a state of peaceful bliss, as if time has stopped for just a moment.
You take a deep breath, inhaling the scent of freshly cut grass and summer blooms, the fragrance dancing with the notes of the evening dew. It’s in these quiet moments, when the world seems to slow down, that you truly appreciate the beauty of life — that you’re grateful you stayed.
As you glance over at her, you’re struck by the way the moonlight dances across her face, casting a soft glow around her making her look as though she were an angel on earth. A gentle breeze tickles the trees as the crickets join the cicadas in their song, creating a symphony of summer.
She looks up, meeting your gaze with eyes that hold an overwhelming amount of love— and suddenly you’re lost in them — warm amber pools you find yourself never wanting to look away from. You can feel the warmth emanating from them — enveloping you with a love you never thought you’d experience.
In that moment, you realize that she is the one that inspires your every work — she’s in every poem, every song, every painting. She has the key to the very depths of your soul — your entire being. Her smile alone sparks the fire within you, fuelling your creativity and passion in a way no one else ever has.
You close your eyes and whisper a silent thank you to the universe for finally bringing her into your life — divine timing on your side. It’s in her eyes, you find solace — a place in this chaotic world.
You find pure and simple love — a love that transcends time and words — a love that fills you with so much emotion you almost want to burst into tears.
It’s in these quiet nights with her, beneath the stars that glitter the sky above, that you realize she isn’t just meant to be a chapter in your book, but a soul intertwined with your own. You realize how truly fortunate you are to have found each other — as though every tiny moment throughout your lives were tying you together this entire time — an invisible string leading you directly to her.
Together, you watch the stars twinkle above, knowing that this simple moment in time is just one of many in your lives together. And with each passing night, you know you’ll continue to write the chapters of your love together, with every word a tender kiss on the pages.
The inviting scent of brown sugar intertwines with a hint of cinnamon in the air — enveloping the entire house in a delightful warmth as the snickerdoodle cookies bake to perfection. A captivating spiced bourbon cider candle casts a gentle, flickering glow — the living room feeling as though it’s wrapped in the warmest of blankets in a cold winter night.

Little did she know that Dakota was exactly who she needed in her life to get the courage to be more herself, conquer her fears, and finally come out to her family.
