A Very Special Moment in February

[sillygoosegirl]

I'd been working on my DEs homework since about 11pm that night. It was going really slow and I was having some trouble with it. I was working in Chessers Lounge, sitting next to the heater, because Josh was there. He'd come over and sat next to me and was half heartedly reading Latin. Except, as often as not, when I looked over, the book was closed and he was watching me or looking at my homework. At one point he got up and went outside for a minute because there was something noisy going on out there. He came back and said that Vrable was up. I went over to look, because I'd never seen Vrable awake at 2am before. When I came back, Josh was sitting on my side of the heater looking, shall we say, expectant? So I went over and sat in his lap and continued working on my DEs homework. I was *so* tired. It was really hard to work, and slow. And I suppose I was more than a little distracted. One or twice I felt him touching my hair. And I'd lay my head against his chest and close my eyes and rest for a minute.

Perhaps this is when we started dating, perhaps not. We never really got around to talking about it until last summer. I like thinking about it as when we started dating and keeping it as our special date because it is one of my very favorite memories.
