The air was cold and crisp despite the sun’s bright rays. We hit the track late in the afternoon but it was good timing, not many people out today. It’d been a while since I had been for a good hike so my flesh groaned a bit. As we walked side by side I enjoyed the quiet thoughts of my husband. They fluctuated between deep discussion to easy fluff. I loved his company. I felt I could be myself with this man and I had nothing to hide. Even so I know, and so does he, there is more to come from our relationship.
