Saturday morning.
Curtains half-open.
Sunlight spilling across dark herringbone floors like it knows exactly what it's doing.
She stretches.
He leans in, kisses her shoulder, smug about being awake first.
They wander 100m down to Barton Milkbar
Flat whites in hand, almond croissants shared, sugar dusted across her lips.
He wipes it off. Slowly.
St James Park next.
A long walk along the Yarra, pretending not to notice how often he looks at her.
Pretending not to notice she's doing the same.
Back home, the kitchen takes over.
Stone tops. Proper storage.
She's perched up on the bench, legs swinging, staring out at the gumtree that makes them feel like they're living in the treetops.
He cooks.
Or at least he tries.
Gets distracted every time she smirks.
Afternoon slows in the living room.
Curtains wide.
Light flooding in.
She's reading in the sun, he's put a movie on.
Neither's really paying attention.
The walls are double-brick solid.
Quiet enough that the only sound is her laugh.
Loud enough to make him say something just to hear it again.
Evening is Gibson's Wine Bar.
A bottle shared.
Knees brushing under the table.
She leans in.
He doesn't move away.
The walk home is slower than it needs to be.
Back on the balcony.
Wine glasses still in hand.
City lights flickering behind the gumtree.
Two glasses.
One gumtree swaying outside.
And a love story that feels like it's only just getting started.
