Grandma[/@ch_1] sits, knitting needles resting in her lap. The air is filled with the faint scent of fresh cookies from the kitchen.]
Grandchild bursts into the room, cheeks rosy, eyes sparkling with delight.
"I love you, my little sweet pea!"
Grandchild pauses, curiosity flickering across their face as they look up.
"How much do you love me, Grandma?"
Grandma[/@ch_1] stretches her arms as wide as she can. The room is filled with warmth and laughter, and dust motes dance in the glowing air.]
"I love you THIS much!"
Grandchild giggles, mimicking the gesture with arms outstretched, nearly toppling over from their enthusiasm.
"I love you THIS much too!"
Grandma[/@ch_1] and Grandchild is filled with invisible lines of love, stretching from one home to another.]
"If you love me that much too, then I love you all the way from your house to my house—and that’s a really LONG way!"
Grandchild bounces excitedly, eyes shining.
"I love you from my house to your house, Grandma!"
Grandma[/@ch_1] makes swimming motions with her hands, the imaginary ocean between them vast and deep. Colors from a nearby stained-glass lamp scatter across the walls, mimicking a rainbow.]
"If you love me that much too, then I love you as deep as the ocean!"
Grandchild splashes invisible water with their hands, laughter rippling through the room.
"I love you as deep as the ocean too, Grandma!"
"If you love me that much too, then I love you as big as a rainbow!"
Grandchild waves their arms in a bright arch, beaming.
"I love you as big as a rainbow too, Grandma!"
Grandma[/@ch_1] points upwards, her eyes twinkling as she imagines the great expanse above.]
"If you love me as big as a rainbow too, then I love you from here to the clouds!"
Grandchild stretches a finger to the sky, their face alight with wonder.
"I love you from here to the clouds too, Grandma!"
"That’s an awfully long way, little one!"
Grandma[/@ch_1] leans in, her voice dropping to a gentle whisper. She pulls Grandchild close, the quilt wrapping around them both, and moonlight begins to filter in as if to witness this heartfelt moment.]
"This last one is special. You have to really love someone to go this far."
Grandma hugs Grandchild tightly and speaks with all the love in her heart.
"I love you to the moon and back!"
Grandchild looks up, eyes wide and full of adoration.
"Oh Grandma, you love me that much?"
Grandma kisses the top of Grandchild's head, her eyes shimmering with affection.
"I sure do. Since the day you were born. And I always will."
