“I really like you, Midori. A lot.”
“How much is a lot?”
“Like a spring bear,” I said.
“A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”
“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”
“Yeah. Really nice.”
“That’s how much I like you.”
— Haruki Murakami
Someone had a bath tonight, just as they issued a tornado watch for our county. I hurried, and got him in and out of the water quickly. All I could think was the city siren was going to start blaring, and freak him out.
I’m thankful the storm didn’t turn out to be scary this time. The watch continues until 10pm, so there’s still a chance of more storms passing through, but so far, so good. At least it cooled it off a bit..it was sticky hot.
