They could not have coordinated a better day for the meet up: it was perfectly warm and sunny. Jude enjoyed the sun’s rays bouncing off his skin as he headed for the park.

Since they’d agreed to meet some place by the lake, Jude set off briskly in that direction. He kept his eyes peeled for the familiar form of his friend and was rewarded almost instantaneously. If the guy didn’t know any better, he’d have thought that Daf was having a picnic by himself. Smiling rather broadly, Jude bounded over. “Hungry, are we?” he asked in Welsh. Shoes kicked off, Jude plopped himself down on the blanket. “Hi, Daf! Bloody hell, I’ve missed your face!” And Daf’s company, and jokes and, well... Daf’s everything.
It was weekends such as this that Dafydd missed. He knew that going into the pre-healer programme meant there would be a lot of work ahead of him, but it ultimately made him truly appreciate moments like these. It was a good reminder to stop and enjoy the little things. And that was exactly what today was all about: a simple picnic, watching the waterfowl, and good company.

He was so lost in the moment that he hadn't noticed his friend's arrival until a series of words in Welsh hit his ears. Instantly his face shifted and he beamed up at Jude. "Always," he told him as he finished off the remaining bit of the sandwich in his hand while his counterpart made himself comfortable.

When Jude mentioned missing his face, Daf smirked and jokingly made a dramatic pose. He had slightly leaned back and his face had morphed into that pouty yet alluring look that many models made. "Best take a picture then so you can look at my pretty face whenever you please." He winked before he replied seriously with a "I missed you too, Jude. How's everything going? And help yourself to the basket. There's plenty in there."
