...in love and marriage.
She leaves. I stay at home. We’ll both travel great distances in time, through both work and words, before coming back together again to break bread and recount our day. What is a modern marriage without traditional roles, without any children, without the same old answers to the same old questions? As I hear her car pull away, I pause to say a prayer and ask for a blessing, come what may.
