A LOVELY THING

“You said a lovely thing,” I said.

“Oh?” you said, one eyebrow raised.

A little laugh.

“What lovely thing? What lovely thing off the Lovely Thing List did I say?” you asked, both eyebrows raised.

Another little laugh.

“Yes” I said, “when I was fussing about our trip, about not knowing where we would stay, you said ‘We have our plane tickets and a rental car waiting for us, and we have each other.’”

I told you it was a lovely thing.
