3. The Perfect Mismatch

I walked into the drawing room with my eyes brimming with tears. After being rejected five times in three months, my self esteem was in pieces. The moment I looked up at him, he stood up and took the tray I was holding in my hands from me. He smiled a gentle, knowing smile.

When we were finally left alone, he said “I am actually more nervous than you are. Trust me.” And then, to my surprise, he pointed at his socks… He was wearing completely mismatched ones! We laughed and then just talked and talked. Time flew by that day, just as it does even today. But today, we’re not the only two who laugh – we have two of our own little babies who laugh even louder!
