A lovely lake

One could reminisce just here.

The two of them would continue to stay there all the time.
They’re very close to the lovely lake, such a good idea.
Pretty, too.

Maybe they are thinking.
About what?
Well, anything.
Or maybe nothing.
So, which?
I’d say… and again
It’s what?
Reminiscing.
You think so?
I do.

Pretty, aren’t they.
Of course.
Those excellent chairs.
Oh yes, bright pink.
Pink?
I thought it was more mauve?
Really?
I’d say so.
Okay, not a problem.

Anything else we should say?
Anything meaningful?
No.
Let’s just scatter them down there.
Now, enough, let’s go.

Where are they?

She has a new car, beautiful, really beautiful; and with her, a great friend. They drove through the evening to find a particular lake, it was almost a myth. But it’s there. They stopped. There was no one in sight. And there, she, the wonderful moon, towered over them. What could be better?

it’s a lovely night
they decided to wade in;
they’re skinny dipping!

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a car parked near the edge of a body of water. The door of the car is open. Behind the car is a small rise and we can see a huge spherical body/ moon rising behind that rise.
