And The Little Finger Wave To The Little One Is So Cute - Tumblr Posts

Simon would see some mom fretting over price tags in the grocery store.

Watching your internal debate before you finally sigh, putting back the single-wick candle and the single sheet face mask in favor of the teddy your little one spotted.

He’d watch you smile at your little mini in the cart, the love as evident on your face as the bags are under your eyes. Also the ring missing from your finger.

He’d linger, trailing behind you as he checks off his own list, a single finger wiggling in a wave to the toddler facing him.

He makes it to the register first, his basket full. You get annoyed, you with your 10 items, waiting for him to finish up. Annoyance swapped out by surprise and sadness when you watch the items get rung up.

Among the basic household necessities is a tall, three-wick candle - your favorite scent. A tub of a proper clay mask, something you know would leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. A bottle of wine. Flowers. A book. The one you couldn’t help but run your fingers over the cover, a promise of some day ringing through your head.

You’re feeling a little bit sorry for yourself and a little bit grateful that at least someone out there is going to be surprised and spoiled by this handsome man. You wouldn’t have expected him to be the type just looking at him, but the gentle way he places the items in the paper bag, a slight smile on his face, you know he’s imagining the look of gratitude and joy when he gets to present this gift, to show them how much he cares.

You are, in fact, quite surprised when the man approaches you as you load your car, pushing the flowers into your hands before setting the rest of his bags in your trunk.

“There’s a number in there, call me next time you need a reminder.”

Still holing the flowers, still shocked and confused, you’d ask “a reminder of what?”

“That you matter too.”
