You never used to like photos,” he said. “You didn’t like sharing your life on Instagram. But when I saw that first selfie you posted after your surgery, i knew you had finally started to love yourself–and love life. That’s why we need to take more. I want to capture every beautiful me

Her heart softened. She handed the camera to a passerby and asked for a favor. “Could you take one of us?

The passerby was happy to help. She stood beside Damon, her smile outshining the sun.

Are you two a couple?” the stranger asked, framing the shot.

‘Yes, Damon replied without hesitation.

Get a little closer,” the passerby suggested, getting into position.

Jamon pulled her against his chest until their bodies were flush. He wrapped a large hand around her waist and interlaced his fingers with hers. They both flashed a radiant smile at the lens as the shutter clicked, freezing the moment forever.

As the stranger handed the camera back, they couldn’t help but compliment them. “You two make a gorgeous couple. The shot came out great–ice

camera, too.”

Thank you,” Damon said politely, taking the camera back.

Aubrey couldn’t wait to see the photo. She leaned in, and Damon lowered the camera, zooming in so she could see the original shot

The sun was out, and the sky was clear. They stood at the very peak of the mountain, framed by a massive rock. It was the perfect photo–they looked lose, happy, and their smiles were brighter than the daylight.

Send that to me. I need to post it on my social feed,” Aubrey said, her face glowing.

Damon couldn’t help but flash a brilliant grin. “You got it.”

by noon, the heat was picking up. She peeled off her jacket and handed it to Damon, taking the camera from him instead.

She wasn’t exactly a pro behind the lens, but she still snapped plenty of photos of him.

He was naturally gorgeous–tall, lean, and effortless. Every shot she took looked like a high–fashion editorial. Aubrey was pretty proud of herself, eeling like she had a hidden talent for photography. She even teased him about quitting her job to become a professional.

They stayed to watch the sunset before finally heading down the mountain.

For dinner, they hit up the most famous spot in New Haven City. They had to get the roast turkey–her absolute favorite.

After dinner, they took in the city lights, which glittered like fallen stars against the dark night. By the time they started the drive back, Aubrey was viped out. She passed out the second she hit the car seat.

When they pulled up to the house, Damon tried to lift her out of the car without waking her. But the moment he touched her, she stirred. She looked round, dazed and bleary–eyed. “Are we home?”

We’re home,” he whispered softly. “Go back to sleep. I’ll carry you inside.”

Aubrey pushed his hand away. “No, you’re tired too. I’m awake now. I can walk.”

Alright.” Damon gave in and grabbed the bags instead.

They walked toward the house side by side. Her steps were heavy and her body felt like lead, but her face glowed with pure satisfaction. Tm exhausted but that was so much fun. We have to go again when we have time.”

Damon smiled, his heart warming at her words. “Sure. I’ll go with
