Jonathan looped his arms around Nancy, smiling widely. She raised her eyebrows at his goofy expression.

"What?" She asked him. He didn't reply but kissed her merely on the forehead.
"I don't know...I guess I'm just...happy."

"You know...jobs, houses....relationships?"

"Where's all this coming from?"

"I guess what I'm trying to say Nancy, is..."

"What? What are you trying to say Johnathan?"

"I love you Nancy Wheeler."
