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.
