He’s immediately and hastily slipping off his generic camera strap and the second that it’s off he carelessly tosses it somewhere across the room. Gently reaching for the new one as he carefully secures it to his camera, it’s perfect. Yeah, he’d love nothing more than that.
Replying to @ShutterByers
@ShutterByers will receive a new, personalized camera strap with the initials 'J.B' engraved on the very middle, along with some camera rolls for him to use. Maybe they can take some photographs together? Happy Valentine's day!

He flips the sandwiches one last time, both sides now a perfect golden brown. Satisfied, he slides them off the pan and onto waiting plates. He lays the tomato slices inside carefully, topping them with a bit of lettuce. His entire body goes still when Nancy’s

arms wrap around his waist and she rests her cheek against the back of his shoulder. She hasn’t done this in a long time. Hearing her admit that she’s missed this makes something in his chest ache. After a moment, he decides not to overthink it and lets himself relax into it.

“Me too,” he says quietly. “More than you know.” He presses the halves back together, then hesitates before settling his hand over hers.

He’s touched when she pushes back on the idea of him being a freak, and a little flustered when she nudges his foot with hers beneath the table. It’s not something he’d expected from her, and a smile finds his lips almost instantly. He wants her to know he’s not ashamed of it.
