There’s an encyclopedia inside that head of his, with a heading and tab for each subject. His Dinah section could encompass three volumes, and includes every conversation we’ve ever had, any story I’ve shared, successes I’ve had, mistakes I’ve made. My preferences, my health details, my shortcomings and flaws. He loves it all, the good and bad parts of me, and while most husbands bitch about their wives’ shortcomings, Joe would never speak negatively about me to someone else. It’s one of the promises of our marriage, one I obey as staunchly as he does.
