[TA POV]

It was a cold, crisp autumn morning. The crunch of the leaves under my boots and the sun gleaming through the trees filled me with euphoria. As i sat on the cold, metal park bench a familiar auroma had drifted through the breeze.

The scent of cinnamon filled my lungs and as quickly as it had arrived my blissful glee had disappeared.

My hand tightened around the park bench arm holder and my eyelids clenched shut, once again forcing me to think of that day i longed to forget.

As my vision cleared i sat in my old kitchen, feeling a smile grow on my face.

"Good morning, my darling" Barcode, my super duper cute little husband whispered as he hugged me from behind.

"Hello, my sunshine" i whispered back, as i tucked a strand piece of his beautiful short, black hair behind his ear.

He cupped my hand in him, pressing it against his cheek for a moment before placing it on my lap and walking towards the kettle.

"Do you want a cup of hot chocolate?" he asked.

"Yes, please. Thank you" i responded.

As he waited for the water to boil i grabbed a muffin, cut it in half and buttered both sides.

As he walked over with both mugs of hot chocolate i slid half of the muffin to where he was going to sit.

"Almost forgot!" he said, sticking cinnamon sticks into both mugs.

His voice rang in my head as a teardrop ran down my cheek on that park bench. As painful as it was i didn't dare open my eyes.

"Thank you, it looks great" i said.

He looked up from his hot chocolate and my face immediately flushed, feeling warm.

Even after 5 years of marriage, i still got lost in his cocoa coloured eyes. They seemed warm and inviting like he had a story to tell and i happened to be lucky enough to be a part of it.

His lips curled into a mischievous smile as he said

"You're staring again, darling. Is everything alright?" he asked.

I remember that my heart felt like putty just by him saying those simple words. I'd played those words over again thousands of times, thinking about what i should've said or done.

"Sorry. It's hard not to stare when i have the most cute boy in the world sitting right across from me."

He giggled. "Funny, i was thinking the same thing."

The cinnamon stick in my mug was now half-melted, sticking to the side as i took another sip from the hot chocolate.

I let out a little sigh as i put the mug down.

"I have to get to work soon" i said, reaching over the table to grab his hand. His eyebrows furrowed and his lips pushed into a pout.
