And no, it's not "I love you". 
It wasn't those three words, as sweet as those are to hear. It was different.Let me set the stage: He wanted to go fishing. We went fishing in a nearby lake for three hours, just him and me. We drank Gatorade and ate Pringles. It was hot, midday, and we didn't catch one fish. We had a lot chase our lures and we could see them, but not one that we reeled in.
In the midst of all of this, I thought he might be getting hot, tired and/or frustrated.
We were moving to a new fishing spot on another part of the lake, when he said very quietly
"This is fun".
If you see me and think I'm glowing, it's not just the sunburn. It's coming from the inside. I'm so lucky to have spent my day sweaty, fishy and burnt.
We'll be headed back out soon.
ps: yes, we do wear sunscreen; and yes, we still get burnt
pps: the luckier fisher-people on the lake were using night crawlers. I was hoping for luck with the fake guys. Any suggestions to avoid me digging up worms is appreciated. I've done it, and will do it again, but would rather not. But I will.
