He sighed again, but only nodded. He knew Zippy, like most of the other newsies, thought he should just shut up and count his blessings -- he had more than most of them have ever even known. But it wasn't as great as they all thought it was. Maybe that's why he always felt like an outsider -- know one really understood what he went through.

"Stop that. I'm the one with the job now. Halfsies?" She grabbed his hand and kissed it. Something seemed off. "I love you."

He turned to blink at her. She hardly ever said that to him, and when she did, it was always because he'd said it first.
He squeezed her hand, leaning forward to press his forehead to hers. "I love you, too."

He arched a brow at her. "Did you just try to boss me around into being happy?"

He smirked. "Kinda. But don't get used to it." He leaned in and kissed her.

Zippy giggled and hugged him. Even if David was a bit different, the boy made her happy. And she was going to stick with him, and keep him satisfied and happy.

He kissed her hair, sliding his arm over her shoulders. "Thanks, Zip."

She held his face in her hands, kissing him again. "I will never let you choose between me or them. But I will always stand by you." She assured him.

They ate in silence a while, then, "I got your Christmas--well, Hannukah present, I guess." He grinned a little sheepishly.
