a story in embers & leaves
Our little jungle,
our little fire.
I was just a little boy when I saw you walking home from school...
keep goingthe message that changed everything
02 / the beginning
One ordinary day.
One forever question.
Some love stories begin with a grand gesture. Ours began with a tiny glowing screen, a borrowed number, and a heart beating far too loudly.

03 / little memories
Some moments never
stop glowing.
her heart
04 / the princess who cries
She feels the world
with both hands.
She cries at holding hands.
At dreams spoken out loud.
At the way the sun falls through the trees.
She is quietly romantic — she will not shout love, but she remembers the exact day we first looked at the stars.
She takes care of me without being asked.
She is the softest safe place I have ever known.
our jungle
05 / her favorite place
A map of the place
we have not found yet.
Choose a place on our little map.
a letter that waits
the future
06 / wherever we go
We will find
our jungle together.
We will build that little house with a view of the stars.
We will sit by the fire, and I will tell you silly dreams until you fall asleep on my shoulder.
And if I had to choose again, in any life, I would still send that SMS.
I would still call you my princess.
And I would still love you first.
