The afternoon light draped across him as he settled in, finding his place on the couch, free of the weight from hours on the job site. He had this ritual, a silent pause in the day, stretching out in the sun’s warmth, his frame unwinding in the comfort of my space. There was something unexpectedly soft about his feet, despite his work, a surprising contrast to the calloused hands that handled cement all day.
I’d ease into the quiet rhythm, kneeling beside him, fingers tracing slow paths across his feet, feeling the warmth of the sun spill over us. He never needed words; neither did I. It was an unspoken routine we’d fallen into, a shared understanding of how to unwind. The gentle drag of his cigarette added its own touch to the moment, tendrils of smoke twisting lazily upwards, catching the light in fragile patterns.
His eyes stayed half closed, his breathing slow, the edges of his mouth soft in relaxation. There was a kind of comfort in the quiet, the sunroom transformed into our shared escape from the world outside. We let the stillness speak, a language without sound but filled with intention. Each rub, each caress of his feet, and each flick of ash became part of our easy, wordless connection. The world faded, leaving only the warmth of the sun, the quiet buzz of contentment, and the unhurried passage of time.
