_______________
Family gatherings, we can all agree they suck. It is nice to talk with family again, see all their loving faces, but by the end, you remember why you only see them once a year. Which is why I am so glad to have you by my side, my amazing girlfriend.
You are dressed in a simple white button-up blouse with a knee-length flowing skirt. Your black lace choker complimenting the outfit beautifully. I wrap my arm around your waist and pull you in close, kissing you lightly on the cheek. “Thank you for coming babe. You always make these events more tolerable.” I whisper, my hand staying on your hip as we survey the crowded room, voices mingling in the air, tales of the year past tangling with each other.
