I would try to make her smile and she would laugh at my corny jokes. I can imagine being there and rubbing her feet after a tough win or brutal loss. I can imagine dropping to one knee and asking for her hand in marriage; we would spend the rest of our days together side by side. Much ♥️ from India.
