Circle JE Ranch, sometime.
The cool evening breeze swept across the campsite, bringing soft scents of pine, lake water, and everything else forest. He loved this time of day high up in the shadows of the towering mountains. Closing his eyes, he could easily conjure up images of their first weeks together, lazing by the fire, working the sheep, talking about all things that came to mind, making love - yeah, that's what it was even then - in that musty tent, but especially that early morning hug before work broke them apart for another few hours. He wiped the tears from his eyes, blaming it on the smoke, and shivered. If only... but if wishes were horses, he'd have a bigger herd right now.
"Babe, you alright?" The voice broke through his rememberings, and the hand on the back of his neck brought warmth to the intense chill he'd felt coursing through him.
"Ya," he replied. Looking down he interlaced the fingers of his right hand with the those on the right hand of the blue-eyed man he shared his life with. "Never been better. We should come back more often."
