Because my husband's been studying & writing essays, he hadn't slept for a few nights. I went with him when he went to hand in his papers yesterday, and he started driving home, but pulled over & let me take the wheel when fatigue was in danger of taking over. After getting underway again, I realized we'd been travelling north instead of south toward our intended destination. I don't really mind taking the long scenic route, but we didn't have the gas for a global circumnavigation, and the passage through Cape Horn is nasty, I hear.
At one point, after I'd turned around, he said to me, "I want you to know that I only love you because you're wonderful, I want to, and I'm in love with you." I put a mock disappointed expression on my face and told him that I guess I'd have to resign myself to living with that.
I love him, too, for much the same reasons. What a silly boy.
