Of Monsters and Men- Love Love Love

-Harry-

Skyler and I arrived at the cabin late last night. We brought our things inside and immediately went to sleep; having been exhausted from the trip.

I woke up this morning like I was in a movie; birds chirping and the sun beaming its light into my window.

Not sure if Skyler was awake yet, I walked just a couple steps to her door.

"Skye?" I say as I knock softly, not wanting to wake her

"Come in" She says.

I do as she says, and open the door

Skyler stood in front of the old dresser, looking into the mirror hanging just above as she brushed out her long hair

"How would you feel about taking a hike?" I ask, pressing my hand against the door frame

"Sounds like fun" She smiled

"Alright" I patted the wood "I'll go make us some breakfast"

My socks smoothly rubbed against the wooden floors as I walked to the small kitchen.

I grabbed the food bag and began to dig through it

No breakfast food.

"Uh, Skye?" I call

"Yeah?" She walked over to me, pulling her hair over one shoulder

"We have no breakfast food" I pointed into the bag

"We have bread and jelly" she said "We could have toast"

I turned around and examined the counters 

"No toaster" 

"Huh" She furrowed her brow and glanced over the counters as well "I'll run to that little store we went past on the way here. It's only about a mile up the road" she walked a couple feet to the door and slid on her shoes

"I can go" I suggest

"No, it's good. I'll grab everything we'll need" She sent me a quick smile "Keys?"

"On my dresser"

Skyler returned shortly with the groceries.

We ate a quick breakfast then prepared for our hike

"I got granola bars" Skyler pointed out as she pulled her hair into a ponytail "I thought it would be good for us to have them while we were hiking"

"Good thinking" I smiled

I packed my small backpack with a couple granola bars and multiple water bottles

After a couple douses of bug spray, we were on our way

-Skyler-

Twigs and dry leaves crunched beneath our feet as we continued our treck into the woods

"Is it possible for it to be any more humid" I comment.

My face was slightly shiny from the sweat that had accumulated on my skin.

"Yeah, maybe not the best day for a hike" Harry chuckled "Why don't we take a break" 

I nod my head and find a clean-ish rock to sit on

Harry gathered his hair with his fingers, tying it into a small bun
