Bruno Madrigal Snippets

Sunset

You were stressed. Bruno could tell.

You had been running all over the place for the last few days. Every so often he'd see you assisting your father in preparing for his trip out of the Encanto for more supplies.

Sometimes he'd see you and your brother at the market shopping for food. Or you would be with your mother, helping her go about her chores in the village.

After that you'd be helping Pepa and Felix in the fields, or helping Agustin chop wood for his father's workshop. You would even help him with his visions or help Julieta with her line of patients.

You haven't had much time to relax. Therefore this evening, he was going to make sure you took a break.

He enlisted the help of your mother and Julieta.

You see, Bruno recalled every small thing about you. He kept a secret journal where he could write down little details about you for future reference.

Like how you loved (favorite color) , or how you loved it when your mother made (favorite dessert).

He even remembered a happy childhood memory of you and your father.

Right now, he decided to recreate that memory, although it would be with him since your father left earlier today.

Once the day's work was completed, Bruno came over to you. He took your hand in his and lightly tugged you along, while chatting happily. You smiled indulgently, happy to spend time with him, despite your exhaustion.

He eventually ushered you over to a blanket with a basket, sitting on a hilltop.

He helped you sit down on the blanket, before sitting down beside you.

"What's going on Bruno?" You asked.

"You've been stressed out and busy the last few days mi amor. So I thought you could use a break. Do you recognize this place?"

You looked around, and a faint sense of familiarity occurs to you. Bruno had escorted you to a private hill top that was out of the way. It provided the ideal vantage point to observe the sun set over the mountains of Encanto.

That was when it hit you. You remembered telling him about the special evenings spent there with your father when you were a little girl. Watching the sky change from blue to orange, red and yellow as the sun set.

You turned to your extraordinary boyfriend with a broad smile and tears in your eyes.

"I remember you telling me how much you loved admiring the sunset here. How beautiful the mountains looked from here. I have to agree, this is an idyllic spot to observe the sunset." He smiled back at you.

He opened the basket and pulled something sweet smelling.

He handed you the treat. You recognized it as your favorite dessert that your mother makes. You glanced up at him in awe.

"You remember?" You asked as you received the treat.

"I memorize everything you tell me mi amor" He replied, as he gazed adoringly at you.

You propped your head on his shoulder with a contented sigh as you both turned to the view in front of you.

He wrapped his arm around you as you both watched the sun set while eating your favorite treats.

Bruno loved surprising you with sweet actions like this, and you cherished the peaceful moments in each other's arms.

You couldn't think of a more enjoyable way to end a long day, and there was no place you would rather be than here.

To you there was no better place then in Bruno's arms, as the sun set over the Encanto.

It was a beautiful sight.
