Three years with my ex, Noah, and he convinced me I had no sense of humor. You just don’t get my jokes, he’d constantly remind me. Turns out, he just wasn’t funny. When someone who is supposed to love you is always laughing at your expense, the reality is, they probably just don’t like you very much. The sound of Harkins’ laughter is my favorite thing in this world, and with him, there isn’t a day that I don’t fall asleep with my face sore from smiling. I’ve never been this happy in my life.
