“I love your clever mind. I love your hair and your butt. I love how fucking brilliant you are, how bold and how brave. I love that Teddy loves you. And I’m pretty sure that my family loves you too. I love your ideas, your stories. And mostly I love your very big eyes and your very smart mouth.” I swallow my heart down. “And my dumb questions?” He smiles at that. His hand is on my elbow. “Everything,” he says. “I love everything about you.” I let my heart settle in my chest. Where it belongs. “I love you too,” I say. “Everything about you.”
