How Much I Love You

Me, lying on the couch, splitting headache, having gotten up too early after a poor night’s sleep and working in the yard at the crack of dawn.

Austin: Have I told you enough today that I love you?

Me: Not even close.

Austin, standing at the end of the couch, arms open: I love you.

Me: If you loved me, you wouldn’t make me get off of this couch.

Austin, arms still open.

Me, finally sitting up. He bends over to embrace me.

Austin, awkwardly hunched: If you loved me, you’d stand up.

Me: You can see how much we love each other.
