you reach for my hand, humming a familiar song while we cross mass ave. what's that? i wanna hold your haaaand.

*

let's go to cvs to get lead pencils. for? crossword puzzles. and all the reasons why lead is the best.

*

buying you surprises: ginger beer, since you've never had a proper dark and stormy and we play fight over not sharing the ginger when we eat sushi (but we always do). we'll have to go back to front page for a real d&s, but while you're a sick baby, ginger beer > ginger ale. and cookies, because who doesn't like cookies. but i didn't know what kinds you liked! so i guessed. can you guess? smiling, laughing. all of them? yep. oh, you. you are so easy sometimes.

pulling out a second one 'for the road' after bridge. oh, you are the best. a text later tonight 'just thought you should know I have a new favorite soda.'

*

nudging your leg under the table just slightly while we are playing bridge and i am talking to someone else. watching you react from the corner of my eye.

*

making you laugh when i hide behind your coat, safe from the wind, waiting to cross the street.

it felt so strange to sleep alone, he says.
