Got Your Hair In His Cross-Hairs

(I have long hair, while my boyfriend is completely bald because he has a large scar on his head where hair can’t grow. One night I am combing my hair before bed.)

Boyfriend: “Hey, how long have you been growing out your hair?”

Me: “Uh…11 years? Since I was 14, yeah.”

(He falls silent and watches me brush my hair for a few moments.)

Boyfriend: “Can I have it?”
