Once upon a time there was this kid I worked at su Once upon a time there was this kid I worked at summer camp with and even though I am chronically serious about (checks notes) everything, and was not ABOUT to be one of those goofs who “falls in love” at camp and gets distracted from caring for her campers...I did. 

It happened like this: 
I was the first grade teacher for day camp and it was storming, but my campers and I got caught in the rain before we could get inside. So I was standing there with twelve seven-year-old screaming their heads off and running wild through the game room while sopping wet, and Ben saw me looking cold, distressed and about to cry. He gave me a hug and told me he’d watch my campers while I went to change into dry clothes. 

And for eleven years he’s never stopped seeing me trying to tough-upper-lip my way through something crappy and then swooping in like “OR, you could NOT hate how things are and let me help you.” Sometimes I even take him up on it the first time he offers. 

Happy Valentines Day, @westrabp, thanks for loving me so well.
