A Contempt-ory Couple

(My boyfriend and I have very recently fallen into patterns that we refer to as making us ‘That Couple’, the disgustingly affectionate kind. We’ve just finished a round of repeating ‘I love you!’ at each other for about two minutes straight.)

Me: “Oh, us, being ‘That Couple’.”

Boyfriend: “We’re beyond ‘That Couple’.”

Me: “We’re one of ‘Those Couples’.”

Boyfriend: “What’s the difference?”

Me: “Slightly more contempt.”
