Summer vacation puts close friends and lovers at a distance sometimes; some have summer jobs far from their loved ones or distant summer homes. Autumn can be a blessing for many…
claire de la lune
flamme de son cœur fébrile
enfin…l’automne
enfin…l’automne
retrouvailles d’amoureux
retour au collège
retour au collège
lueur de la pleine lune
brille sur son visage
brille sur son visage
joues rougissantes la trahissent
yeux pétillants sollicitent
