Man of the Hour

I've been back in Buffalo less than a month, but I've met someone.

I know.

I know it seems soon but I can't help it.

It's love.

And it's amazing.

It started a little over two weeks ago. I was talking to his sister when I caught him looking at us.

At me, actually. Just me.

And at first I tried--I mean really tried--to ignore those dark brown eyes, but when he came over, I couldn't help myself.

He made me smile.

He made me laugh.

It even looked as though he wanted to kiss me right then and there.

I mean, yeah I felt bad that he'd nearly knocked his sister over to get to me, but it was kind of cute, you know? It's a desperate I-need-you-and-you-need-me-and-we-both-know-it sort of way.

If you ask me we both knew something was starting right then and there.

We made it official two days later.

I know it's soon, but he's been living with me for a week now and it feels nothing but right.

He's smooth, dark, handsome, and listens when I talk. I think.

My best friend thinks he's too tall for me, and that his ears are two different sizes or something ridiculous like that, but what does she know? She hasn't been out of vet school for three years yet. I think he's perfect.

His name is Henry and to me, he is beautiful.


Welcome home, Henry.

Love,

Mommy
