Side by Side

We were just a few weeks into our courtship, and sHe had arrived at my place already. I was, of course, running a few minutes late, scrambling to finish cleaning my car. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to be ready for hEr; me waiting for hEr, not the other way around.

"Do you need some help?" sHe asked. Interesting, sHe wasn't even fazed by it. And then sHe surprised me; sHe was right in there, helping me wipe my car down. I never cease to be amazed when I remember that event, that sHe would be there with me even without the glamour of the movie-esque courtship. I value that.
