A Nice Shaded Clearing in the Preserve; Late Monday Afternoon [08/21].
Sure, the weather was insisting yet again on being hot and humid, but Nell and Gladio had decided they were going to have a picnic that day, and so a picnic they would still have! Maybe it would start to cool down as they headed into evening, anyway, and besides, Gladio was never that bothered by hot weather, anyway.
Even with a shirt on.
So when Nell was finished with work, he swung by to pick her up so they could get things for the picnic together and head out. He knew the preserve very well at this point (best to avoid the woods on the other end of the island for now, really), so he felt he knew a good spot that would be cool and comfortable, with just enough shade from the surrounding trees and close enough to the shore to maybe sometimes get a little bit of a refreshing sea breeze coming off of the ocean.
But, of course, a second opinion on the matter was vital.
"Think this'll work?" he asked, turning to his companion in this particular excursion, with all the confidence that she'd approve because, well...he knew how to pick a good spot.

Nell sighed contentedly and he could probably feel her smile against his neck. "I love that I can just feel your voice rumble through me when I'm close to you like this."
And she knew that there was even more and for the first time believed that it would only get better. She wasn't ready for too much of the 'more' yet, but she was loving every moment of the now.
