Note: Even though it's effing hot outside.
It looked one of those old grandpa sweaters you could find at any thrift shop. Actually, knowing Connor, it was an OGS™. It draped down Katie's body, covering her knees like a modest dress. No matter how much she rolled the sleeves up, they would unfurl to wrap her hands. The maroon color and dark gold stitching reminded her of Christmas and holiday stories told by her family.
It wasn't the warmest thing in the world, but it was comfortable-the soft material gentle on her skin. If she brought up to her nose, and closed her eyes, she could pretend that Connor was right there with her. His long arms holding her as she laid her head on his shoulder.
It wasn't the same as the real thing, so as soon as Connor came home, without explanation, she’d pull him onto the couch. Katie would drag herself onto his lap as he chuckled and hugged her without question. The words I love you sat in her mouth, and when he kissed her, he heard them, and gave back his own.
