Mary Beth Ellis
My husband came into the kitchen, slid up behind me at the kitchen counter, and wrapped his arms around my waist. “I just wanted to tell you that I came up against a limit on how much I love you,” he said. It was an odd thing for a husband of eleven months [...] Soundtrack of our livesBy
