this morning #1001.

this morning, from the minute that he walked into the room, i could tell that, for now at least, his attitude had changed. there was something playful in the way he said my name. it was awwllll drawwllll. he wished me good morning like he was finally ready to try harder. planted a kiss on the crown of my head as he made his way to the fridge. took out a red bull zero & asked if i wanted one too. i did. i appreciate little stuff like that. gentle gestures to say that we’re in this together. they’ve been in short supply for a while. for years, really. his thoughtful side is what first won me over though. i know that it’s in there. it’s just buried deep beneath layers of exhaustion.
