One night my then boyfriend, now fiance, and I were watching a movie. It was a romantic one - not his preferred genre and he fell asleep midway into the movie. I continued watching. The 2nd half turned out to be quite emotional. Near the end I started crying softly. He woke up to my tears and immediately wrapped his arms around me to sooth me. He asked if it was the movie and I nodded. Since it was already late, we went to bed shortly afterwards.
The next morning I woke up, readied myself for the day and headed downstairs. He was eating breakfast in front of the TV - his usual routine before work. As I rounded the corner, I saw he was watching the movie from the night before. I was surprised as he was clearly not that interested then. "Why are you watching this?" I asked. He gave me a sweet, sincere look and said, "I wanted to see what made you cry."
My fiance is not one for grand, sweeping gestures but it's the every day small things that he does that melts me.
