"The first time I said I love you was when you decided you didn't want to go to prom because only students were allowed. You were wearing your pink unicorn bodysuit pajamas, and we were downstairs microwaving popcorn. Shit was like a movie-the way it happened, the electricity that shocked me when our hands touched as we reached for the party bowl. It took you by surprise. I grabbed your waist and pulled you into my arms before whispering, 'I love you,' in your ear until it wasn't a whisper anymore."

"The second time was a few months later. Our first date. You dressed to impress that day, and I got reckless. I pulled you onto my lap and kissed you. Then, staring into your eyes, I said it again.

'I love you so much. Your smile was so fucking beautiful and genuine.'"

"Stop." I cried.

"The third time was when we were on the phone. I sent you flowers and a human-sized teddy bear because you said you missed me. I came to Vermont the next day. The moment you ran into my arms, it slipped.

'I missed you too, baby. I love you so fucking much.'

You completely froze because, out of all those times, it was the first time I said it in English."
