Enough to Miss Christmas

"I will. What else?"

I thought a moment. "You have to let me hug you. This hand handshaking crap has got to go"

"Why? So people will think I love you?"

"No. I don't care what people think."

"Then why? You can't make me hug you."

"I want you to let me because I love you and I don't think I could be around you and not be able to hug and kiss you."

"It wouldn't mean I loved you, or even liked you."

"We already went over that. No problem."

"So if I promise all that stuff, would that be enough? You'll marry him?"

"Can we skip the movie?"

"And do what?"

"Look for our house," I said as I gave her a hug.
