“Buddy”
A few months after a nasty breakup my (now) boyfriend and I started dating. I was really hesitant for him to meet my young son, but he was persistent and I finally let them meet. A few months later, he was leaving to go home when my son said, “I love you.” He immediately said, “I love you too, buddy.” That’s when I knew I loved him.
