warning: lovey-dovey-ness

Chris and I had a nice lunch today. No kids, just us grown ups. As we were sitting there waiting for our food to be served, I looked across the table at him and saw that somewhere along the way he has grown up. He's no longer the kid I married. He was wearing a nice jacket over his sweater, and his hair is peppered with gray nowadays. He was gazing off into the distance while he told me about a conversation he'd had with a collegue earlier that morning. All the sudden I got to wondering what happened to the scruffy, baggy jeaned skater I married ten years ago? Where's my cynical, take-nothing-serious rebel?

His eyes looked so blue in the light from the windows. I always lose my way if I look too deeply into those eyes. I reached across the table for his hand and said "Look at you! You're such a grown up!" He looked back at me, a bit startled but not really. He's used to random, unrelevant to the conversation things coming out of my mouth. I suddenly got teary-eyed. "I'm crying!" I giggled nervously, a bit embarressed at my sudden gush of emotions. He gave me that beautiful half-smile of his and said "You better stop it before I start."

It was a good lunch. I'm so proud of him.
