Love Punch

(My fiancé recently came home for two weeks on leave from basic training. It is one of his first nights home. I am up early and running around getting ready work. I go to kiss my fiancé goodbye (like I always do) but as soon as I bend down to kiss him the dog barks and startles him so badly that he punches me in the face.)

Me: “Did you just punch me in the face?!”

Fiancé: “Oh, my god! You scared me!”

(I leave for work and on my way he calls me.)

Me: *answers phone while holding in laughter* “Good morning, slugger!”
