“If I were to tell you you’re great at your job as a brand consultant, what would you say?” “Thank you,” she says without hesitation. “Why?” I stroke my thumb across her soft, warm cheek, still holding her head up with my finger tucked under her chin. “Because I know. I’m great at my job because I work really hard. It doesn’t mean I can’t get better, but I know I’m good.” “Exactly. So when I tell you you’re beautiful…” I press my lips against hers. It’s hardly a kiss. Just a curious, reassuring touch. “Just know it… Say thank you.”
