“In four words, tell us about this guy you’re dating.”

It was early December, at our company party in San Antonio. My boss was prying. It’s what he does. I smiled and rolled my left hand into a fist.

“Going,” I said, as I stuck out my thumb.

“To,” Index finger – that was two.

“Marry,” Middle finger. Three.

“Him,” Ring finger equals four.

There are some things you know because handily, they come with back-up material. Facts. You can know what time it is, or how far it is to Denver or how many nines go into twenty-seven. But then there are the things you know just because. No facts, no back-up. Just knowing. Some people will tell you that’s how they feel about god. As for me, I simply knew I was done looking. I’d found what I was waiting for.

And he doesn’t just make his half of the bed; he makes the whole thing.”

    Well I am glad that you knew and didn’t have to think or worry about it anymore. I think I knew way before you hence the sitting in the rental car and letting I love you slip out!!
