When we bought our Gulfport house, I did not ask whether it was larger than Gavin’s.

When I became partner, I did not calculate whether I earned more than he did.

When Douglas proposed, I did not think:

Now Gavin will see.

Thank God.

Because if my second marriage existed partly to communicate something to my first husband, then Gavin would still be sitting at our dinner table psychologically.

He was not invited.

Chloe changed my understanding of family too.
