Toothbrush, By: Melinda Tauler

March 24, 2026 by Melinda Tauler

Toothbrush, By: Melinda Tauler

“This is an intimate moment, don’t you think?”

I tell you that it is, but I laugh a little to myself. You don’t seem like the sentimental type.

Then again, we just met an hour ago and I blurted out I love you during our first time together.

And now, every time I go to brush my teeth, I’m right back there — in the suite at the Hampton where we rode out a blizzard on the night we met.
