“Hmmm..” I hum as I run my fingers through your thick curly hair as you lay your head on my chest, listening to you rant about things that happened throughout your day. My eyes are closed, but I’m still listening to you.

“And then…” I hear your voice fade and my eyes pop open as well as my ears perking up.

“And then what, my love?” I ask, letting you know that I was still listening and still interested.
