Conversation of the day:
I say with concern, "I wish the test was tomorrow. I
feel like I can't possibly be more ready."
...pause...
Me again, "I don't feel ready, but I can't become more
ready."
...pause...
Daniel had been staring at the ceiling and looking
perplexed, obviously pondering another puzzle entirely. This is pretty normal
for him. I watched the wheels in his head turn for a few moments while he
finished his thoughts, then allowed my statements to register.
The subject change appeared on his face as he very briefly
glanced my direction and gave both the shortest, but most genuine loving
eye-grin, full of understanding, as though he'd felt exactly the way I
described many, many times. His mouth didn't smile, just his eyes. "I love
you."
Surprised he even heard what i said, I asked, "Because
I'm a nerd?"
"Yes." And the subject of conversation was lost
again to the puzzle in his head.
Truly, this is such a strange, but amazing part of marriage
that I absolutely appreciate. Sometimes we are individually SO ODD... but
together, it makes sense.
