I walked in, and she stopped angrily flipping the pages in her magazine: “What does happiness look like for you?”

“Look like?”
“Yea, look like.”

I smiled: “Well, not the way you’re looking at me right now.”
“Ha. Come on, I wanna know.”

I showed her my phone screen saver: “It looks like this.”

She smiled at the picture of her on the beach: “What does happiness feel like for you?”

I grabbed her and hugged her. 
I felt her shake. 
She was crying: “I can’t. It’s too much.”

“Nah. You just think too much.” 
So, I held her tighter.
