“Would you like to take a break with me over the weekend?” Her voice trails to a barely a whisper as she utters the last word.
Without meaning to, I lean in and whisper. “Could you speak up?” CLAIRE! “Yes!” I say quickly, ignoring my last comment that slipped out so she doesn’t have to respond to my overbearing teasing any further. I pull her into a hug and giggle like I am a teenager again. oh, I missed this.
Wait! Claire, give her space, what are you— Rae starts to giggle and returns the hug. Oh thank goodness! We are both smiling and laughing now. This is perfect. I love her so much.
“Please get a room,” the sofa says in exasperation, and we both just laugh some more.
