Lakeside
Afternoon was just ending, pale shadows being cast along the sides of the clear blue lake. David allowed his eyes to trail along the flowers and trees, but they always went back to the beautiful girl who outshined all of it. She sat peacefully with her canvas in front of her, her view of the world spreading itself in paint.
“Are you sure you aren’t bored?” She asked anxiously, glancing back as one hand dipped the brush in paint. “We can go to dinner now if you want.”
He smiled at her. “No,” he said truthfully. “I’m not bored, you just keep doing your thing.”
“Thanks,” she said gratefully. “The shade of the water is perfect right now.”
He continued to quietly observe her, humming quietly under his breath from time to time. She finished quickly, signing Liz Morton at the bottom with a little laugh. “Thank you for waiting,” she said as he helped her pack up her things.
“My pleasure,” he said. He took her hand and they sat back down for a moment, leaning against each other. Slowly, the sun began to slip down, painting the sky around it a thousand shades of purple and orange.
