She says, “I love you Button.”
I say, “You’re like the end of a good day.”
She smiles playfully when I say this
and asks, “The agreeable parts,
or something else?”
“No silly, the good things.”, I reply
“It’s your heartbreak for the dog
that appeared to be a stray,
and the relief you felt
when the owner finally came along
that makes it that way.”

Hello, Michael,
I can imagine you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Appreciating one another, especially in these minute, tender moments, is such a gift. You capture both sides of this exchange so well, along with its warm, deep meaning.
Thank you!
