    “Amber, you could never embarrass me."

    "Never?" she asked.

    "Never."

    "One time, I yelled across the store to Mom and asked her if she wanted the regular or the super-absorbent tampons. I added that, according to the box, the super-absorbent were for those heavy days. Then I asked her to rate her heaviness on a scale of one to ten."

    "Okay, you could."

    "Then while we were standing in line, I asked her why she was buying three boxes of Summer's Eve in the middle of winter."

    I set her at arm's length. "Wow."

    "I know, right? I had no idea a person could turn so red.”
