Brief Conversation This Morning

Kate had just returned from the bathroom and got into bed. I pulled the covers over her and kissed her on the cheek. That led to the following conversation.

Richard:        “I love you.”

Kate:             “I love you too. <pause> And I don’t even know who you are.”

Richard:        “I’m Richard Creighton, and I’m your husband.”

Kate:              “What?”

Richard:        “I’m your husband. What do you think of that?”

Kate didn’t say anything. She just smiled and closed her eyes. I’ll take that as a positive sign.
