The story was special. The legend was powerful.
There were moments or story lines I desperately wished for, and moments that at times seemed small but were so important to discover and delve into. This is a book of these moments that I wanted to ex...

Breakfast was amazing, just Can and Sanem talking and joking without interruption. The longer they spent together the more their little cottage felt like paradise.
After they finished breakfast, Can opted to dry wash the dishes while Sanem agreed to dry them.
"What do you want to do today?" Can asked handing the last cleaned plate to Sanem , "We can do anything."
"Hmmmm", Sanem responded as she was wiping the plate dry, " Anything?"
Can grinned drying his hands on the kitchen towel, "Anything."
Can sat on the edge of the couch watching Sanem walking around their little cottage having a discussion in her mind trying to figure out what to do next.
Finally it becamse clear as Sanem was making her second loop around the room. She spotted Can's collection of cameras. Sanem only touched the shelf as she didn't trust her slippery fingers with something so precious to him. Can always looked peaceful and happy while taking his photographs. Sanem recalled Can's stare of intensity when he was capturing something special. Sanem smiled to herself feeling a little lightheaded remembering how it felt to be the one he was photographing, and have that stare directed towards her.
"Well you always said you would show me how to develop pictures... " Sanem trailed off with a glimpse of hope and shyness.
Can flashed to the first time he brought Sanem to this cottage. He was unsure but excited to show someone special his hide away. Once Can saw how genuinely amazed and interested Sanem was in his cottage he knew he made the right decision to share it with her. It was the first time he shared it with anyone. Can remembered vividly the moment where he showed Sanem how the shades made a dark room. In her amazement Sanem asked if Can could show her how to develop pictures. At the time, Can was nervous as no one had ever asked him to see his work like that. It was almost a religious ritual he didn't let anyone intrude on. But when Sanem asked he didn't feel nervous about sharing the experience, he was nervous that the idea of her seeing that part of him didn't actually scare him. So instead of trying to understand those feelings, Can promised Sanem to show her another time. He hoped that promise back then would cement them interacting in the future as at that time he didn't know how she really felt.
Can smiled grateful of how far he and Sanem had come.
Can smiled with a nod, "I did."
"SO maybe we can take some photos, and then you can show me how you develop them?"
Can grinned holding back the urge to kiss Sanem, "That sounds like a good plan, baya baya BAYA a good plan."
Sanem's dimple shined, "ok then."
Can couldn't hold back any longer and brought her in for a quick and passionate kiss. He let her go quickly as he started to frantically gather his camera equipment. Sanem still reeling from the kiss only was able to hold on to the couch as she watched Can gather everything.
