I have thought about that a lot, because it turns out to be the whole thing.

Christopher was not interested in cornices.

He was interested in what I was interested in, for as long as it took, and I did not know for eleven years that there is a difference and that the difference is everything.

We married in 2011.

Toby came in 2011 as well, in October, which caused a certain amount of arithmetic at family gatherings and which neither of us cared about.

For a long time it was good.
