The leaves littered the sidewalks in radiant golds and reds. A soft, wailing breeze lifted them up into a spiral, then dispersed them before us as we strolled that wooded lane, lost in the pleasure of each other's company.
"I don't know when I've ever been this happy," you said blankly, your hair still matted with stale croutons and what smelled like Thousand Island dressing. Apparently concussions can take a while to recuperate from. I squeezed your hand assuringly, trying to forget that you did it to yourself, with the toilet seat of all things.
"Me too," I said, breathing in the brisk air, pretending not to notice the giant foot that came down from the clouds periodically, smashing entire houses or cars with one stomp. "You complete me. I wish you and I to be together forever."
"Oh, Alec! Do you really mean it!?"
"With all of my heart, Melinda. I've felt that way since you and I met at the Winter Carnival."
