Sunday mornings had become sacred for Elisa and Eduardo. There was no rush, meetings, or social obligations. Just fresh coffee, carefully cut fruit, and the sound of the sea coming through the windows of the vacation home they had chosen to escape, from time to time, from the city's fast pace.
Life seems lighter this way, said Elisa, sitting on the wooden deck, her bare feet touching the warm water of the pool.
Eduardo, beside her, with a cup of coffee in his hands, watched her affectionately.
Or maybe you're the one who makes it lighter. He smiled. Even after endless shifts and meetings, you still have that calm glow.
She laughed, shyly.
I've learned to find peace in small moments. And you?
I learned from you to stop rushing so much and look around. He moved closer, touching her fingers. And I realized that living with you is the best investment of my life.
Elisa lay down on the lounge chair and closed her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze that swayed her hair.
