We build a home to keep us safe, make room for memories, and gather love among us. We move with dancers’ familiarity between the floors and rooms, wordlessly weighing ourselves in rituals of a life shared. There have been days entire conversations transpired in smiles over the tops of our children’s heads between meals, work, errands, and play. Today I have been looking for a quiet corner to share, planning our temporary escape; minutes stacked against the clock to hold open a moment untethered to the life we built to nurture the love we share. A date among calendar days of courtship and companionship, in parenthood and partnership.
