Two Cups, No Hurry.
Find a familiar bench, bring two cups of tea and sit beside the person you love while the evening changes colour. Hold hands between sips. Talk about something other than tomorrow’s to-do list—or say nothing at all.
A nearby park, a quiet waterfront or your own balcony will do. Bring a light layer, leave the place tidy and give yourselves an evening that does not need to become a photograph. The tea can be ordinary. The company is the point.
