Falling in Love
I’m sitting in Muni on my way back from AKQA after one of my first days back at work. My thoughts start to drift away and I suddenly find myself daydreaming about Evelyne. Her little square head, hamster cheeks, bright eyes are there right in front of me. I suddenly feel overwhelmed by emotion. I have not felt like this about someone in a long time. I’m in love!
A few nights before, as I was feeding her before putting her to bed, Evelyne released the nipple for a little while, turned her head towards me and raised her hand to my cheek as if to give it a little “carresse”. Again, that wave of love just washed over me and I gazed at my daughter with tears in my eyes under the emotion. After I finished the bedtime routine, I told Dylan that I apologized to him but I had fallen in love with someone else. Evelyne’s the name of my latest flame.
Dylan laughed. But the next day after playing with Evelyne, he declared he was in love with her too. “You know that feeling you have when you are just falling for someone? Well it’s like that”. Yes, I know that feeling. It’s sweet and exciting.
So all is well and basking in the love of our little “menage a trois” at the Henrys right now.
