The Twelve Days Of Dash And Lily - Blog Posts

" When I told Dash I love you so much, I meant: I love you for your kindness and your snarliness. I love your for grossly over-tipping waitstaff when using your dad's credit card to "pay it forward." I love the way you look when reading a book- content and dreamy, off in another world. I love how you suggested I never read a Nicholas Sparks book, and when I did read one because I was curious, and then read some more, I love you for how confused and offended and downright angry you were. Not that I'd read them, but that I adored them. I love debating literary snobbery with you, and that you can at least recognize that even if you don't like "pandering, insincere, faux romantic garbage," that lots of other people- including your girlfriend- do. I love you for loving my great-aunt almost as much as I do. I love how much brighter and sweeter and more interesting my life has been since you've been a part of it. I love you for answering the call of a red notebook once upon a time. "
