_Snap!_

The camera shutters

Its light blinding us momentarily

She stares at me, her jaw slack

I myself avert my gaze

Fiddling with the belt of my pants

Head titled her way

“Really?”

She asks.

“Why tell me?”

I shrug, then correct myself

“You’re the

Only one I know.”

She grins.

“They must be lucky then,

They really must.”

I smile as well and grab the photo

Of us grinning, cheeks smushed together

And fake, glittery cat ears on our head

“Yeah, Honey Bear

They really

Really are.”
