Me: "I think you look really cute when you laugh. I like the way your nose wrinkles up."
Him: "You think so..?"
Me: "Yeah, I do. I love it." Like I love you. Like I love the sound of your voice to soothe the rushing tides of anxiety and nervousness I feel right now. The pressure of weeks of work and upcoming presentations melts with your smile, your voice, your presence. I want so desperately to tell you this. But, instead I twist my feelings and thoughts together in an inseparable knot, choke on the words stuck between my teeth, and spit out:
"I guess I'll have to make you laugh more often, huh?"
