more than i imagined

Winter was coming to the north fast. Already he could hardly count the amount of snow that fell on the land. Thankfully he’d done not a lot but prepare for the colder months since Spring returned. There was one constant in his life despite the vast amount of tasks and chores he did and that was coming home to Kirsi every night. He knew she was just as busy as he was, and it seemed like they hardly had time for themselves beyond cuddling up at night. Now that the snow began to fall he was either in the shop or helping an apprentice.

He wasn’t giving Kirsi near enough of his attention, and he was eager to remedy that this morning. Song started out before dawn, quick to gather up a bit of breakfast for his love before he asked more of her. He’d make the whole day about her, and what she wanted to do, with a couple suggestions of his own. First though, breakfast in bed.

Song returned quietly with the sun, their south facing den was soon lightly illuminated. Gently he returned to Kirsi’s side and aimed to wake her with a brush of a kiss to her cheek.
