The muffled sounds of the car engine nuzzled the silent night as the creak of an older door crisped through the air and a shrouded figure emerged. His presence was unfamiliar to the silent country-side; a road that passed through was lost by the mountains that encompassed it. The area was dispersed, an island of green sheltered by nature yet with its arms wide open to the strangers that came through.
He sighed, keys turning against the engine, silencing the quiet purr and sinking the night back into serenity. The skylight gave way to the winter blossoms in full bloom, as the night dew lay crystallising on them. He began a brisk pace through an unfamiliar path, yet memory served as nd guide as his steps seemed to be taking him higher into the green hills. Muscle memory steered the stranger up the path as his breath grew laboured; time clearly sinking into his slowing body. The figure stiffened as he reached the summit and smiled at the view rewarded for his journey.
The moonlight dipped, illuminating the strangers' face as he slouched down upon the grass, damp with the dew, but unbothered by the wetness all the same. He smiled, hazel eyes glistening in the lights reflection, as his flecks of his auburn beard and long hair moved ever so slightly, jostled by the night wind, and memories began to come to life...
Her floral dress bounced in the sunshine as he lay a blanket onto the still wet grass, happiness bounding through her. The hillside looked beautiful as the mid morning sun ever so carelessly broke through the birch trees that sheltered its crest. He smiled at her, specks of auburn shooting through his young and energetic face as his eyes met the ones they had been searching for all day; blue, like the sky above them, and full of a love he still wondered why she felt for him. She gently lay down, head carelessly falling into his lap as his heart began to accelerate. A curious giggle, almost as if she knew the effect he was having on her.
'This will always be', she chimed, eyes never leaving his as her words created an eternity within them...
The moon began to sink into the hillside as faded rays revealed the stumps of birch trees that once stood at its crest. The stranger that had lay sitting there for what seemed like hours began to rise. Swiping away the last of the dew that clung to his jeans he made his way back to the silent car that now lay hidden in darkness. It had been 19 years since he had first started coming here by himself, 19 years where nothing arrived.
