“Can we get popcorn, Garrett?” “We can get popcorn, Jennie.” “Can we get extra butter on the popcorn?” “We can get extra butter on the popcorn.” Jennie spins around, eyes sparkling. “What about Skittles? I like the tropical kind. Do you want to share a drink? Maybe root beer? I haven’t had it in years.” I chuckle, making a mental note to plan more movie dates in the future. Her happiness is contagious, and all I want to do is feed it.
