Eric / A Quiet Place ⁴

You were sitting on the floor of the library, quietly flipping through the pages of some magazine, with Eric's jacket on your shoulders. He had gone there, saying he would be back soon.
—
Today was March 8, but in all the commotion, you had forgotten about it. Even if you had remembered, you clearly had other things on your mind.
—
After a while, you heard Eric's quiet footsteps behind you. You turned your head and saw three tulips and a box of chocolates in front of you, which he had apparently gone to get.
—
A blush spread across your cheeks. Even in the apocalypse, Eric wanted to make you happy. “I remember you love these chocolates. Happy International Women's Day,” he whispered, waiting for you to take his gift.
