E: my heart is pounding big.
Me: {asks all the medical questions I can think of, takes temp}
E: {all answers are unconcerning}

E: I just want to cuddle you.
Me: Ah. Do you think your heart is hurting a bit because we haven’t been able to cuddle since I have covid?

Me: so how does your heart feel now?
E: mmm…good.
Me: do you think that cuddles is what it needed?
E: probably. I’m so tired I could just fall asleep on your lap.
Me: go ahead. Sleep.
E: I think I’ll take a bubble bath first.
