I Filled Your Cup

Indigo felt more free from his emotions when he was with Duchess, she cooled and settled him so he could be present and enjoy the moments together. He was finding excuses to steal away kisses and moments in dark corners as he went through his daily responsibilities. She was a warmth in his life and through the long winter they found themselves in. Despite the cold and snow the pair of them still found their paws wandering beneath them.

He knew they wouldn’t find any warm welcoming weather, even here on the coast the shallow waters had frozen and everywhere was devoid of life. Massive dark paws slowed as they reached the pond, his blue eyes shifted to the girl instead of the barren lands they’d come to. She was his flower, a glimpse of the spring that they should have had. Duchess didn’t have to try too hard to bring him happiness, just watching her take in their surroundings was enough to bring the corners of his lips into a smile.

”One day we’ll find the sun.” He told her softly as he lowered his haunches onto the ground. There wasn’t much in the way of life, but the cold still made the solitude beautiful.
