» Beautiful Moments, Part Two

Last Christmas...
It was just the beginning of a brand spanking new relationship with the boyfriend - let's call him Bobby - and we were going to be apart for a couple of weeks. It's not that long, I know that, but at the time it seemed like a while especially since I was overly terrified about the whole newness of it all.

A friend of ours was driving us up to the train station to drop him off, and in the car ride up I didn't say anything - I imagine I was trying to act fine and convince myself I was fine in the process. Sitting in the front seat, at one point Bobby reached back, tapped me on the knee and held my hand.

It's not the most beautiful thing that's been posted, or probably that's ever happened to me, but it's the first thing I thought of. Just someone, without a word, realising my upset and doing the simplest thing to comfort me.
