Chicken Philly cheesesteak on pretzel buns
I stayed up late for my fella, who works nights, after I did a bunch of tasks around the house, in the garden, and applying for work/emails (we're trying to move to a new area for my career, and he's being incredibly supportive of coming with me) because I wanted to cook him a tasty dinner that'd be fresh and hot, rather than reheated.
As I was cooking, he asked if he could borrow me for a second – he's always super respectful of my space in the kitchen because it bothers me to be surprise hugged while I'm cooking (knives, hot things that stirring, etc.) I get to w pause and turn around, and he's all misty eyed. I ask him what's wrong/if he's ok, and he says "I just love you so much happy tears."
Well then I get all misty and we held each other so long I darn near burned my onions.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't find/don't deserve a partner who loves you that much. The little moments where you just appreciate each other and share the feeling that you're the lucky one, they're real. And the good guys, the sweet ones who will tell you you're amazing just for being you and hold you just because and who feel so lucky to have you it literally makes them tear up sometimes, are definitely out there.
