I heard the voicemail and I hate that voice; I’ve got you.

Drop your bag at the door and leave the rest to me tonight.

You said you were running late; I saved you the comfiest chair.

Bring the chipped mug and I’ll make you a new cup, no questions.

You can be grumpy and I’ll still kiss the corner of your mouth.

I remember your laugh between the grumbles; let me remind you in person.

Your inbox piled up and you looked small; I cleared three emails for you.

Say the word and I’ll drive us to the bakery at midnight.

I left a note on the mirror: you handled more than you think today.

I don’t need reasons, I need you; tell me what you want right now.

Tell me the worst line from your day and I’ll take it.

You forgot to charge your phone, I left my charger on the bedside table.

I can cook and we’ll eat on paper plates if it makes tonight easier.

Your keys are on the bookshelf again; I put them by the door.

You’re allowed to be tired and short today, I still want you.

I’m thinking of your tired face after today; come here and rest against me.

The subway delay was ridiculous; if you’re still out I’ll come get you.

You’re allowed to be cross with today, I’ll be mildly annoying until you smile.

Your scarf got stuck in the door; I’ll bring scissors and a foot massage.

You sounded disappointed; that matters and I’m here to help unpack it.

Your glasses fogged in the rain; I’ll meet you under the awning with mine.

The elevator stuck you felt trapped, come to mine and get real air.

I wish I could unsend parts of your day; until then I’ll listen.

The leftover soup spilled, I’ll bring a towel and a ridiculous movie.

You look exhausted in your selfie; come over and nap on my couch.

Your tote strap snapped, I’ll bring a spare bag and my terrible jokes.

You sounded small on that call; that mattered to me and I’m with you.

Your plant got knocked over, I’ll come fix the soil and stay for coffee.

I know your inbox exploded; take ten minutes and breathe, I’ll wait.

I heard the meeting went sideways — you handled it well, I’m proud of you.

Call me petty: I labeled your snacks 'for emergencies' and today's qualifies.

Your umbrella turned inside out? I'll parade around pretending it's haute couture.

Spilled your bag? I'm hiding one shoe and offering a dramatic ransom.

Wear those ridiculous socks tonight; I'll narrate your entrance like a sports commentator.

If the spreadsheet betrayed you, I'll draw a ridiculous chart proving I'm better company.

You forgot lunch? I brought two sandwiches and one is suspiciously extra for you.

If someone cut you off, I'll steal their parking spot later and act triumphant.

Buy me that tiny chocolate you like and I'll do an embarrassing dramatic bow.

You spilled coffee? Good, I ordered a matching shirt to tease you about it.

Bring that scratched watch — I'll pretend to fix it and distract you badly.
