the transition from my apartment to his was simple. there was no fuss about where i placed my things or how much closet space i took up. he seemed happy that i was there.
every time i came home from work, he had set a new bouquet of roses on the table. & even though they weren't my favourite flower, they were my favourite flower.
after one or two months, the roses stopped. i understood, though. money was tight & roses were $5.99 a bouquet. i never questioned it.
i'd come home to him, asleep on the couch, every night. he was studying to be a nurse. said doctors were too supercilious.
i always woke him up, & we'd have a talk about our day. it always ended in a sloppy makeout before bed. we slept in a king. memory foam. his parents gave it to him. they were nice.
i met them on Christmas. his mum was a little weary of me at first, but after Luke told her that i attended an Ivy League, she warmed right up.
his father liked me right away, told me i reminded him of his sister. said i had the same curly, brown hair.
i met his dog too. Petunia, a bulldog, she was very lovey & cuddly.
Luke loved his family, they were all very close. it made me smile seeing his mother complain about how his beard scratched her face & his father saying it made him a man.
i wore a pink sweater that day. it complimented the red roses.
