Unusual people

Cooper smiled warmly at Mina, the memory of their past anniversaries bringing a soft glow to his eyes. He reached out, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. He probably wasn’t as fatherly as he ought to be, but he had just never been that good at showing his emotions. His past often haunted him, the ptsd interlaced into his brain.

New clothes, huh? That sounds like a wonderful idea, Mina, he said, his voice filled with affection and pride. How about we make a day of it? We can go to the market together, find the best cotton we can, and maybe even stop by that little café you love for a treat.

He paused, his eyes twinkling with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation. And you know what? Let's make it special. I'll help you pick out the fabric, and maybe we can even find some trimmings to make your new clothes extra unique. I want this anniversary to be memorable for both of us.
