Oh my

A bit ago, I was in the kitchen. At the counter just about finished with the post-dinner clean up. Gem came in and quietly hugged me from behind. With feeling. This is much more of a Sag move and I thought at first it was him.

Then, before I could exhale my swift intake of breath, kisses. He planted kisses along my back horizontally.

Never. Honestly, I think never before has this child done this to me. In his eight-plus years.

I wrapped my arm back and held his arm. "Hey, honey..." was all I could muster before he was gone. As swiftly as he had come, he was gone.
