[ً @holyaches]

it’s terrifying， isn’t it? that even love isn’t always enough.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

a small chuckle, one soft and
forever reserved for him as fingers
continued to brush those rugged
cheekbones …

“ I missed yo͟u͟ .”

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

the youngest miller would then be occupied with running his face across the playful, lingering warmth of maria's palms.

"goddamn, i missed that . . ~"

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

hands are settling upon the sides
of his neck … thumbs caressing
cheek bones as she returns the
gentle embrace, mumbling agaisnt.

“ m’hi there .”

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

( the youngest miller slipped right beside his wife before sneaking in a gentle lip smooch . . . )

🥰 *

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

kiss me ? 😌

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

yes, honey . . ?

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

hey, @wretchedmiller ? …

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

it took a moment, hues finally lifting
to find him gazing back — — light
flicker of a smile forming across
brims … thoughts instantly soothed
as she finally whispered out.

“ give me a hand putting him to
bed ? .”

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

tommy made sure not to make a single noise in the room, but his smile remained even brighter once maria's eyes locked within his hopeful gaze.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

she’s far too busy to even realise …
tone soft … quiet, only to stop when
the boy finally drifted off to sleep,
finishing with a kiss to the top of
his head.

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

quietly walking in from around the corner of the room, smiling softly to himself.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

she’s singing Benji off to sleep …
digits brushing through soft curls.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

she’s on her way. 😌

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

well, c'mon then . . i got a brisket with your name on it, and some baked beans.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

no, not yet … I’ve been busy
with shit that I 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵 to eat.

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

“ you know it won’t effect anything
if you take tomorrow off and spend it
in bed with me .” she softy mumbled,
rare … fingers continuing to brush
through his locks.

“ … town can go a day without us,
I’m sure .” 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

a rather mild grumble from the youngest miller, who wasn't feeling quite young anymore these days . . last thing he needed was a rock to lay down on.

"i don't care — i wanna relish this while we still can.

work's out to kick m'ass with the repairs again tomorrow."

I’m well, glad to know you’re okay.
If there’s anything I can do for you,
or get you anything let me know, yes ?

[𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒊 (2 𝙈𝙊𝙈 2 𝙁𝙐𝙍𝙄𝙊𝙐𝙎) @goodlvckcharlie]

I'm doing okay! Feeling pretty good! What about you?

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

a small chuckle, hummed as
lips pressed a soft kiss to the
top of his head … smile twitched
against it, tone laced with
playfulness.

“ it’s not even been twenty - four
hours since we were last like this …”

[Tᴏᴍᴍʏ. @wretchedmiller]

"i've missed your warmth . ." he sighed deeply, allowing his eyes to close themselves shut while he nourishes against maria's touch.

[ᵀʰᵉ 𝓛e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟. @miisleader]

c’mon, let me get your silly
ass’ a cuppa’.
