after weeks of being way more into each other than we were comfortable with, anni, in medium-to-severe disbelief, shared a list with jeff of all the things she’d been looking for in a future partner.

The list was completely unreasonable:

dog-lover, sciency, funny, not religious, curious and interested in the world, has good friends, Vaccinated!, independent and self-sufficient, a good listener, open communicator, loves kids and respects them, compassionate, trustworthy and comforting, thinks of others, helps others, makes me feel safe, smart, outdoorsy, will go bike riding and kayaking and camping with me, up for adventures.

easy to be around. the time just passes…
