Finger Webs

Last night I took my lady to meet some of the most important people in my life. It was a fun night of good food, laughter, and building friendships. But the thing that made the night for me was the drive home. She'd had a long day at work and as the clock turned into the next day, she took my right hand and laced the small fingers of both her hands into it and fell asleep as I drove the hour to her house. Every so often a bump or curve in the road would wake her up, and she'd re-thread her fingers into mine which made my heart smile every time. As this relationship slowly grows, it's things like that action that remind me this is worth all the effort I'm putting into it. This is a really special lady and I'm better for each hour I get to spend with her.
