“Let’s see. Hmm. I don’t want to be away from you. When I am, I miss you and wonder when you’re going to be with me and hope it’s soon. I care what you think of me, so I try to improve my behavior. I think about you all the time and what I can do to make you happy. I feel totally comfortable with you. I love your honesty, even if it hurts. I trust you – which is huge for me. And I want to touch you, kiss you, and make love to you every hour of the day. Is that love?”

“Say something,” he said.

“You nailed it.”

He grinned. “Now you. How do you feel about me?”

“Ditto.”

He laughed. “Come on! A smart girl like you can do better than that.”

She pushed her chair back. “I’m not comfortable doing this.” Robbie grabbed her wrist.

“Oh no. You’re not getting away. You think I was comfortable? But you asked. Now I’m asking.

She plopped down in her chair and fidgeted with a napkin. “I admit I love you, too.”

“Really? You’re not just saying that?”

She smiled. “You know me. I’m honest. Brutal.”

“True.” He picked up their plates and headed for the kitchen. Dale followed. Upon entering, she spied Barbara and Ralph, quiet as mice, their ears to the doorway.

“Is there no privacy in this house?” Dale raised her voice.

Ralph wiped his eyes, hugged Robbie, and scooted out the back door, with Barbara right behind. Staring at Barbara’s gorgeous ring, Robbie got ideas.

He laughed. “That’s family!”

“That’s nosy parents who want to run your life.” Dale grumbled, frowning.

“Be grateful you have them.”   

“I am, most of the time,” she said, snaking her arm around his waist and resting her head on his shoulder.
