My fingers twitched beneath his, and his eyes crinkled at the corners as he offered me a tentative little smile, which I returned full force. I didn’t think I’d ever smiled that hard in my entire life. He was touching me! I wanted to scream hallelujah but figured that would scare him off. Which was the last thing I wanted to do. His eyes said, thank you. They said, they’re perfect. They said, it’s okay.
