Friday, I had had a terrible night at work and the only thing on my agenda was to go home and be pissed off. I opened my front door and sulked in. The noise of the door opening had drawn Gabrielle's curiosity and she peeked around the corner to see who was entering the house. When she saw me, her face immediately transformed into pure and shameless joy.
The angst that I had been shouldering stood no chance against the onslaught of her jubilation. A baptism by smile. I shook my head in wonder and it finally became clear to me.
"Fuck, this... this right here is what it is all about. It took me nineteen months but I now understand."
