Lots more job stuff for me today - busy, busy. H is off to work and my FIL is here to watch the kidlet. Things between H and I are easy, comfortable and growing warmer. He touched me ever so lightly on the shoulder yesterday, and we had some very warm, companionable time both reading under a blanket on the couch together. We were listening to that CD I mentioned earlier, and when it stopped, he grabbed the remote to make it play through again - that's a bit unlike him, and it seemed to be a positive sign. I was writing in my journal and I tore a page out to write him a little love note. Nothing too heavy, just a hand-drawn image of a candle flame and the words 'warm - how I'm feeling about you.' I folded it origami style and he asked what I was doing. "Seat of my pants origami" was the reply. By the time I got it all folded, a few things had interrupted the moment so I put it in my pocket. I'm sure he was wondering what it was.
This morning, he came and tucked the blankets around me on the couch and tucked a stuffed bunny in with me - very sweet. I sleepily told him there was a note for him in the pocket of my jeans in the closet. He found it, then came back to sit on the arm of the couch with his feet tucked under the edge of my blanket. He likes the intricacy and mystery of complexly folded notes, and regular love-notes were part of our courtship. In college, even if we didn't see each other on campus, we always found the other one's car and left love notes under the wipers or slipped through the windows we left open a bit for ventilation.
When he got it open, he gave a very melty "Awwwwwwww!" Then he cooed a bit over the calligraphy, the drawing style, etc. There was the barest suggestion of a heart shape in the middle of the candle flame. I really wanted to tell him ILY, but the note was as far as I was willing to go.

The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.
