Well after midnight H hobbled out of the bedroom, being woken by a dream. I was up because long naps in the afternoon usually pushes my sleepiness back. He told me of how I gave my wedding ring to his ex-girlfriend, she was happy about it, they watched the Lord of the Rings with her siblings and the movie morphed into a Delta Goodrem music clip, He was weirded out for a long time by the non sequitur of a story line. I pushed through with my usual questionings anyway.
"What do I and her have in common" finally dislodged some answers. He shared how different I was from the previous girlfriends. It took him back to our first months of courting. I left an impression enough for him to want to see me the next time, and the next time, and then spend some more time.
He reflected on how much he appreciated me then. Perhaps it was what he needed to bring those feelings into our relationship now.
I needed to hear those words, still feeling tender from the other day. And also to share a much needed long, quiet, uninterrupted cuddle.
