But...”“Hey — if you’re not ready ... we’ll wait.”“Oh, I’m ready. It’s just ... A flood of insecurities just washed over me.”“Yo... have nothing to be insecure about,” he replied. “You’re beautiful in a unique way. I admire you and I envy your abilities.” He leaned toward her and kissed her lips.“You really envy me?”“Very much.” Chris unbuttoned the top three buttons of her blouse. He parted the fabric and kissed her chin and down her neck, planting a long and tender kiss on her tracheotomy. ’ ‘He loves you, too,’ I said, gently kissing her, ‘Just like somebody else I know.’ ~~~~~~ When we followed Sara back to her house, Sparks rode in my lap with his little head resting on my leg.
