Half a Kilo of Care

In all our first meetings of the day she greets with deeper intent gazing religiously into my eyes as I indulge. When tiredness betrays my countenance without request, she renders a service of a good shoulder massage. When I’m almost getting sad she holds my hand tightly for both palms to intimately share her cool moisturizing tenderness. When duties are paused for a break she comes to me to discuss serious matters but makes herself playfully comfortable. She’s very obedient and quick to act whenever I’m in a place of need making my place of work more comfortable than home. My heart becomes convinced and consented for the expression of a deeper level of intimacy but surprisingly, a bed warmer is all that she needs.
