I was unpacking my stuff and he swung by my room to chat at the exact moment I pull out the head of a dragon figurine that my Godmother made me, body still in the box. Without saying a word, he ran down to his room and grabbed his super glue. When he came back up and fixed it, all I could think was that I’d found my knight in shining armour, protecting his lady and her dragon. I let him touch my boobs a week later.

Watching him build a fort with my two kids, unprompted from me, simply because they asked him to. It was a huge step to begin with to even let him meet them, since their dad is a total prick who left 5 years ago and hasn’t seen them since. That made me apprehensive to let anyone meet them with the possibility of him leaving too and hurting their little hearts any more. He now loves them as much as he loves me and we couldn’t be happier.
