Possibly even a small crisis call. Instead, he came home with the exact ones I always buy. I laughed and asked, “How did you know these were the right ones?” He shrugged a little, smiling in that quiet way of his. “I’ve watched you pick them enough times,” he said. “I remembered.” It wasn’t a dramatic moment.
