This lady's laugh is irritating me. I got little sleep yesterday. I drove over 9 hours yesterday. I fly home today. These statements are connected. Many things are. Her partner commented, "Your laugh was quite loud even when you were thinner." It was at this moment I suspected two things: 1) They've been together awhile. 2) They are just as in-love now as when they initially fell in love. Thoughts shift... Her laughing began to irritate me less. Memories, feelings flood into me... A love fills me... My heart pumps... My beats change... My pulse quickens… Visions of Angela & I still very much giddy and in love decades from now began to warm me.
