- As I sit at my computer, wiling away yet another sunny afternoon in pursuit of an ever higher score, I hear footsteps outside my front door. Before I even have time to register the noise, the door opens. He pushes his way in and slams the door behind him, locking out the frigid winter air.
He sweeps over to give me a quick hello kiss before taking off his coat and dumping the mail. I watch him silently as he paces around the house, lost in his own to-do list. Eventually, he notices my silence and comes over to see me, and what I am looking at.
"What did you find for me?" he asks.
I sit back, smiling, as he glances over my afternoons findings, then goes back for a slower second look. "Nice" is all he says.
I shrug and go back to my game, knowing that I will have to be content with this for now, that I will have to play this game out his way, as always.
