Not the fluttery, teenage kind. The kind where you watch him fix something that was broken—a drawer, a bad day, a belief in yourself—and you think, “Oh. That’s what love looks like.”

If you’ve ever had a moment where you looked at your dad and thought, “Yeah, I get why Mom fell for him” — this one’s for you.

It’s noticing the way he remembers how you take your coffee. The way he stands a little taller when you walk into the room. The way his laugh sounds exactly like home.

The man who taught you how you should be treated by the way he treats everyone else. Yeah. That’s the crush that lasts forever. 🤍
