(Arata)
(Four years later)
The summer season was over, and autumn had spread its beautiful colours before we could transition into winter.
We had a few weddings to attend. Stella and Zaylen were getting married and so were Roshra and Callum. I had been working on our dresses but had taken a short break to come outside and watch my kids.
Zaila and my twin sons played in our garden. They were born two years after Zaila in the same month she had. They had just turned two. Alnitak and Mintaka–named after two stars of Orion's belt.
They were redheads like me and very mischievous, so very different from their older sister. She was calm but moody but Alnitak and Mintaka were cheerful and always smiling.
I sat on my garden chair watching them play with their toys. Karsten came from behind me.
Before he could touch me, I felt his presence. That fresh scent he always carried, gave him away.
He placed his arms around my chest, sensually kissing the top of my head.
