Alpine Lake dirt

<3

a man. aged but handsome, called out to her. for a moment she only stared at him. soaked in his presence and his features. she wondered what he was doing somewhere like this.

hello, she offered. then slowly sought to remove herself from the chilled waters, but not to make a move away. instead it was to be closer to him. to talk to him without the water lapping at her ears instead of his voice.

do you live here?
