I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like “is this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.” Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.
People will love the things you make them. Because you thought of them and you cared.
finding you is the best surprise

aaron sighed as he climbed the stairs of his house, hands already working to loosen his tie and untuck his shirt. it had been a long case and he wanted nothing more than to hold you in his arms as you reminded him of all the good there was in the world.
but strauss had wanted to meet as soon as he landed and he’d had to cancel on your date night, and by the time he’d been able to leave, it was too late to show up at your place, demanding you let him in.
he stepped into the alcove on the top floor and he couldn’t help the little smile that formed at the sight of the framed picture of you two, one that you insisted he keep.
he could practically hear you dragging his arm around your front and angling your phone above you two, mountains and lakes forming the perfect backdrop.
“smile, aaron!” you insisted, twisting your head to look back at him, “look like you love me!”
he let out a huff of laughter and pressed a kiss to the top of your hair. “i love you more than you’ll ever know, sweetheart.”
you’d captured the moment he looked down at you, eyes full of love and adoration as you smiled brightly into the camera.
