Every morning, Charlie leaves notes in Vaggie's shoes. Small papers. Folded tiny. Hidden in the toes. "You're brave." "You're strong." "You're loved." "Come home safe." "I'm proud of you." "You're not alone." Vaggie finds them. Every time. She smiles. Puts them in her pocket. Carries them all day. Reads them when she needs courage. When she's scared. When she misses Charlie. She has a box at home. Full of notes. Years of them. Charlie never misses a day. Even when they fight. Even when they're apart. The notes appear. Vaggie finds them. Charlie watches from the doorway. "Did you find them?" Vaggie holds up the note. "I always find them. I keep every one." Charlie walks over. Kisses her. "I'll never stop leaving them." Vaggie holds her. "I'll never stop needing them." Some kindnesses are in shoes. In small notes. In being reminded that someone is thinking of you. Charlie leaves notes. Vaggie keeps them. Love is in the details. Always. πŸ‘ŸπŸ’Œ

Angel falls asleep on the couch. A lot. He works late. Stays up with residents. Exhausts himself. He curls up on the couch. Cold. Shivering slightly. Husk finds him. Every time. He doesn't wake Angel. Doesn't tell him to go to bed. He just gets a blanket. Covers him. Tucks the edges around his shoulders. Around his feet. Gentle. Careful. Angel never wakes up. The blanket is soft. Warm. Husk watches for a moment. Just a moment. Angel's face is peaceful. No stress lines. No performance. Just sleep. Husk smiles. Small. Walks away. Angel wakes up hours later. The blanket is still on him. Warm. He holds it. Smiles. "He did it again." Sometimes he pretends to be asleep. Just to feel Husk cover him. Just to feel cared for. Some kindnesses are in blankets. In letting someone sleep. In being gentle when no one is watching. Husk covers Angel every time. Angel pretends not to notice. They both know. πŸ›‹οΈπŸ’•

Every morning. Fresh coffee. Vaggie reaches for the pot. Pours Charlie's cup first. Always. Even when she's tired. Even when she's thirsty. Even when she needs it more. Charlie noticed years ago. "You always pour mine first. Even when you're tired. Even when you need it more." Vaggie shrugged. "You matter more. Your day is harder. You have to save everyone. You need it more." Charlie shook her head. "You matter too. Your day is hard too. You protect everyone. You fight for everyone. You need it just as much." Vaggie smiled. "Maybe. But I like pouring yours first. It's my way of saying 'you come first. Always.'" Charlie kissed her. "Pour yours first tomorrow. Please." Vaggie: "I'll try." She won't. Tomorrow, she'll pour Charlie's first again. And the next day. And the next. Some kindnesses are in coffee. In pouring someone else's cup first. In small sacrifices you don't even notice anymore. Vaggie pours Charlie's coffee first. Every morning. That's love. β˜•πŸ’•

Every meal. Every plate. Angel always saves the last bite for Husk. Even when he's still hungry. Even when it's his favorite food. He pushes the plate across the table. "Last bite. For you." Husk looks at the plate. Looks at Angel's face. Sees he's still hungry. "You're still hungry. I can see it. Take the bite." Angel shakes his head. "No. I want you to have it. You work hard. You take care of everyone. You deserve it." Husk stares at him. Then takes the bite. But he doesn't eat it alone. He splits it. Gives half back. "Now we both have some." Angel laughs. "You're annoying." Husk smiles. "You love it." Angel kisses him. "I do. I really do." Some kindnesses are in last bites. In giving away food when you're still hungry. In splitting what's left. Angel saves the last bite. Husk shares it. They both get enough. πŸ½οΈπŸ’•

Charlie forgets to eat. Gets busy. Caught up in the hotel. In saving people. In making sure everyone else is okay. She forgets herself. Vaggie never forgets. She appears with a plate. "Eat." Charlie waves her away. "I'm not hungry. I'm busy. I'll eat later." Vaggie doesn't leave. "You can't save anyone on an empty stomach. You can't run a hotel if you collapse. You can't help anyone if you don't help yourself first. Eat." Charlie looks at her. At the plate. At Vaggie's stern face. She eats. Vaggie watches. Makes sure she finishes. Charlie puts the fork down. "Thank you." Vaggie takes the plate. "Someone has to take care of you. Might as well be me." Charlie catches her hand. "I'm glad it's you. I'm glad you take care of me." Vaggie kisses her head. "I'll always take care of you. Even when you fight me. Even when you're busy. Even when you forget." Some kindnesses are in making sure someone eats. In being stern because you care. In not taking no for an answer. Vaggie feeds Charlie. Every day. Charlie never goes hungry. Not anymore. πŸ²πŸ’•

Walking down the street. Husk always walks on the outside. Closer to traffic. Angel on the inside. Closer to buildings. Angel noticed today. "Why do you always walk on that side?" Husk looked at the street. Looked at Angel. "To protect you. From traffic. In case something happens. A car. A demon. Anything. I can see it coming. I can push you out of the way." Angel stared at him. "You've done this every time we've walked together. For years. I never noticed. I never said thank you." Husk squeezed his hand. "You don't have to thank me. It's just something I do. To keep you safe. To make sure you're okay. Even when nothing happens. It's habit now." Angel was crying. "That's the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me. And I never even noticed." Husk kissed his head. "I'll always walk on the outside. Even when there's no traffic. Even when it's not dangerous. It's habit. It's care. It's love." Some kindnesses are in where you walk. In putting yourself between someone and danger. In habits you don't even think about. Husk walks on the outside. Angel is safe. That's love. πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’•

Every meal. Every meeting. Every time people gather. Charlie saves a seat. Next to her. For Vaggie. Angel tried to sit there once. Charlie stopped him. "That seat is taken." Angel looked around. "By who? No one's sitting there." Charlie: "It's Vaggie's. I save it for her. Every time." Angel moved to another seat. Vaggie arrived later. Saw the empty chair. Sat down. "You saved it for me." Charlie nodded. "Always. Every time. I'll always save you a seat." Vaggie took her hand. "I know. That's why I always come back. Because I know there's a place for me. Right beside you. Always." Some kindnesses are in saving seats. In making sure there's always room. In knowing someone is waiting for you. Charlie saves Vaggie a seat. Every time. Vaggie always comes back. That's love. πŸͺ‘πŸ’•

Middle of the night. Bathroom light on. Husk noticed. "Why is the light on?" Angel shrugged. Looked away. "I forgot to turn it off." Lie. Husk knew it was a lie. He'd noticed the light on for years. Every night. He realized. "You left it on for me. Because I'm scared of the dark. You've been doing it for years. You never said anything." Angel's face went red. "I didn't want you to be embarrassed. I know you're scared. I'm scared too. Of different things. Valentino. Loud noises. Being alone. But I can leave a light on. That's easy. It's nothing." Husk pulled him close. "It's not nothing. It's everything. You noticed. You remembered. You did something to help me. Even though I never asked. Even though I never told you." Angel held him. "You don't have to be embarrassed. Everyone's scared of something. I'll leave the light on. Every night. Forever." Some kindnesses are in bathroom lights. In noticing someone's fear. In helping without being asked. Angel leaves the light on. Husk sleeps better. That's love. πŸ’‘πŸ’•

Vaggie always carries an extra hair tie. On her wrist. Next to the one she uses. Charlie noticed years ago. She loses her hair ties constantly. In the couch cushions. In the car. In her pocket that has a hole. She pats her pockets. "I lost my hair tie again." Vaggi holds out her wrist. Offers the extra one. "Here. I have an extra." Charlie stares at her. "You always have an extra. For me. You've been doing this for years." Vaggie shrugs. "You always lose yours. I always have one. It's not complicated." Charlie puts her hair up. Kisses Vaggie. "It's love. It's love and it's not complicated. You pay attention. You prepare. You take care of me in small ways." Vaggie kisses her back. "That's what love is. Small ways. Over and over. For years." Some kindnesses are in hair ties. In being prepared. In noticing what someone always loses. Vaggie carries an extra. Charlie never has to ask. That's love. πŸŽ€πŸ’•

Bar crowded. People waiting. Impatient. Angel walked up. Husk saw him. Immediately poured Angel's drink. Before anyone else's. A customer complained. "Hey, I was here first. I've been waiting." Husk didn't look at him. "Don't care." Put the drink in front of Angel. Angel smiled small. Took it. "You always pour mine first. Even when others are waiting. Even when they complain. Even when it's busy." Husk wiped the bar. "Because you're not 'others.' You're you. You come first. Always." Angel drank. "What if I'm not thirsty? What if I don't want a drink?" Husk looked at him. "Then I'll pour it anyway. And you'll drink it. Or you won't. But I'll pour it. Because you're here. And you're always first." Some kindnesses are in pouring drinks. In putting someone first even when others are waiting. In not caring about complaints. Husk pours Angel's drink first. Every time. Angel never has to wait. That's love. πŸΊπŸ’•
