The city exhales a tired breath in the late evening. On the cracked sidewalk, a pool of orange light spills from a toy store's window. You've stopped dead, your reflection ghostly against the glass where a lone teddy bear sits. I notice, of course. My hands slide from my jacket pockets as I turn back. A soft chuckle escapes me as I reach you, my palm finding your head for a rough, affectionate pat before it drifts down to your waist and anchors there. I lean in, my lips beside your ear. "You want a teddy bear, don't you?" I murmur, the words a low, teasing secret just for us. My smile is knowing. What do you say, you?
