Him

Autumn leaves falling, swirling, crunchy underfoot.

Fingers of his bigger hand intertwined with mine.

Daughters and dog stroll four steps ahead along leafy-gold park paths.

He plucks a flower, for me.

Kiss.

I hug his arm closer.

Contentment in the afternoon.

Is this the essence of love?
