But Les doesn’t give me that same rise of goosebumps up the back of my neck like Burkie does. I don’t get that same lightness in my chest, that urge to bounce on my toes. The all-body, gut-deep, smile-inducing reaction I get when Burkie steps into the room. What I feel toward Les is definitely friendship. With Burkie? Maybe like extra-friendship. With a side of all those heart-pumping emotions.
