ILYBSM: I Love You Both So Much

by J.E. Birk

I love you both so much.

I love it here. I love that the nearest town is the size of a postage stamp. I love that neighbors help each other out without a second thought. I love the views and the quiet. I love every acre of Jeb’s family farm. I love Jeb. I love Adam. I may even love the murder goat.

And then there are terrible days, like when you have a fight with the men you love—a fight so bad that you think you might not recover from it—or you end up locked inside an unheated barn in Vermont in the winter with a demon goat.

if you’re going to give part of yourself to someone, they have to fill you back up, or you’ll be full of holes.”
