Love You Back!

2026.02.06
Love you back!
Kip's Father on "Heated Rivalry". Man, I'm annoyed that I'm 50 years into this life and only now noticing this possible response to "I love you", which somehow feels so much richer than "Love you too" or even "...I Love YOU". "Love you back!" implies a beautiful mutuality, that real love is a duet of feeling, not a pair of solos...
(My buddy Dylan is a big fan of "Heated Rivalry" - kinda the Brokeback Mountain of Hockey. Beautiful men, nuanced acting, great cinematography.)
