I couldn’t even remember the exact day we met. I remember the year but not the exact day.
“Thank you!”
“Turn around and let me put it on you.”
I turned around and held up my hair so he could place the necklace on me.
“I still have the watch you gave me as a graduation gift.”
“I never figured out if you liked it or not.”
“I liked it, but Lauren thought it was weird to wear a gift that was given to me by another girl.”
“I’m glad she’s out of your life.”
“Me too.”
We stood in silence for a few seconds. It wasn’t awkward. It was comfortable.
“Jack?... I would like this to continue. I’m not sure how this will work or even if it would last, but I want to do this.”
“This makes me so fucking happy. I know you deserve more, and I know I can show that I can give you more.”
“I know we will have to work hard since we will be living far apart and that it may be harder for you to visit because of Briar, but I’m willing to try it.”
