It is Valentine's Day, so I present you with this unapologetic combination love song / inside joke for @fecknom that will require a little explanation for the rest of you.

So, Ethan studied Russian in college, and actually went and taught English in Russia for 10 months about 8 months into our relationship. At some point, they told me the Russian word for "bridge," which sounds a lot like the English word "most." This kicked off a recurring thing of us cheekily telling each other "I love you the bridge." This evolved over time (as such inside jokes do) to "I love you the ____" (insert some other English noun that we actually are quite fond of—Ethan also really loves bridges, so this was a natural progression).

Anyway, the first line, melody and all, popped into my head this morning as I sat down to write while looking at the pinkening of the FAWM site, and here we are. Nova did a whiny yawn partway through but I decided to keep this take because that's our life. 😆
