25, tall enough to hang fairy lights without a ladder, emotionally available. People say I smile too much. I say they frown too easily. I'm the youngest in the Khan family, which means I'm either being babied or blamed. No in-between. But honestly? I don't mind. I've got a good life. A good job. I recently got married and I have a wife, oh can I say that again 'my wife' that sounds so good. Wow but she looks at me like I'm a walking to-do list she never asked for.Ah nevermind.

Iam 29 years old. Eldest daughter which basically means I've been parenting people since I was old enough to spell my name. I like things neat. Predictable. Labeled. Aligned.I don't do small talk unless it's absolutely necessary. I have a husband now. Ugh. Even saying that feels weird, like I accidentally ordered one off a website and forgot to return it. And yet when he steals my coffee just to "see my angry face" or pokes my cheek when I'm concentrating I kind of don't hate it. Don't tell him. He'll never shut up.
┆"I said I was better off alone. He heard it, smiled, and made himself a permanent fixture on my sofa. And now somehow... my heart too."
