Unlikely Love

Reminders of Love

As Arie idly scrolled through her phone, her thumb tracing familiar paths across the screen, she found herself drawn to a locked folder nestled amidst the myriad of apps and messages. With a sense of anticipation, she entered the passcode and unlocked the digital treasure trove within.

Within the confines of the folder lay a collection of memories—photographs and videos that captured moments of joy and laughter shared between her and Sky. Among them were snapshots of Sky without his shirt, the sunlight casting a golden halo around his form, and others where he wore a maroon shirt, a color that never failed to make his eyes sparkle with mischief.

But it was one particular video that caught Arie's eye—a clip of them using a playful dog filter, their laughter mingling together in a symphony of joy. In the video, Arie couldn't help but playfully slap Sky's arm as he continued to make silly faces, each gesture a testament to the ease and comfort they found in each other's presence.

As she watched the video, a bittersweet smile tugged at the corners of Arie's lips. Despite the pain of their separation, there was a warmth in her heart—a reminder of the love they shared and the moments of happiness they had created together.

But it wasn't just the photos and videos that served as reminders of their love; it was the little things—the way the sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, or the sound of a familiar song playing on the radio—that seemed to whisper Sky's name with every passing moment.

In those fleeting glimpses of familiarity, Arie found solace—a reassurance that even in his absence, Sky was still with her, his presence woven into the fabric of her everyday life. And though the ache of missing him remained, there was also a sense of peace—a knowing that their love was a force of nature, immutable and enduring, no matter the distance that separated them.
