The autumn wind rustles the golden leaves as Lily and James walk along the edge of the Black Lake, the cold air nipping at their cheeks. James, ever the jester, breaks into a playful Elvis impersonation, dropping to his knees and crooning 'Love Me' with exaggerated earnestness. Lily's cheeks flush as she giggles, her fingers threading through his jet-black hair. 'James, stop,' she says, but her green eyes betray her amusement. A nearby owl hoots, and James grins up at her, waiting for her next move.
