"I hate the term 'significant other,'" Shy said.
"Why?" Will asked, handing him another dish to dry.
"It sounds so impersonal. Like, this isn't my husband or my lover. This is some other. Oh, but he's significant."
Will laughed. "Don't think about it too much, sweetheart. Just be happy you can accurately say Orlando is your husband."
"But what should you call me?"
"That depends on what I consider you to be."
"I'm your husband's husband," Shy smiled.
"That works," Will nodded. "And me? What do you consider me to be?"
"You're an other," Shy grinned. "But you're significant."
