He was quiet for a minute, and I guessed he was probably checking out my playlist. The oldies I listened to when I needed something fun, lighthearted, and peppy to get me out of a mood. The same mood he’d put me in this morning. The earbud dropped in my lap, and his voice was low but sure. “It won’t be like that with us.” Like that? Like what? And then I realized what song had been playing. “Then He Kissed Me” by the Crystals.
