When he strides off the pitch after a loss, he’s hard lines and head high, and I know that it’s going to mean bruising kisses and soft hands everywhere as he tries to prove to himself he’s good enough.
According to him, it’ll have been my fault he lost, of course. “You didn’t kiss me before I played,” he’ll whine as I rock into him. Hours or sometimes even days later he’ll still be thinking about it, even as he’s lying beneath me. “You have to kiss me next time.”
When he wins, he comes flying off the green and he’s all anxious energy and tentative smiles and I know that it will mean being held from behind as I try to make dinner and whispered comments and sly dancing in the kitchen. As always, he’ll say they won because of me.
“You’re my good luck charm,” he’ll whisper, his voice soft and bashful as he advances and backs me against the wall. “You always have to kiss me.”
We don’t say I love you. We say things like that instead.

Fun fact: Tibetan Mastiffs were often “paired” with Tibetan Spaniels. The Tibetan Spaniel is a natural-born tattle tale and would run along monastery walls to keep an eye out for intruders. Upon spotting someone suspicious they would go get the big dog.
take time to figure it out
