(this is about the man she dated after her divorce)
"but oh, we had such a great time together during those early months when he was still my romantic hero and i was still his living dream. It was excitement and compatibility like i'd never imagined.
We invented our own language. We went on day trips and road trips. We hiked to the top of things, swam to the bottom of other things, planned the journeys across the world we would take together.
We had more fun waiting in line together at the Department of Motor Vehicles than most couples have on their honeymoons. We gave each other the same nickname, so there would be no separation between us.
We made goals, vows, promises and dinner together. He read books to me, and he did my laundry.
The first summer looked like the falling-in-love montage of every romantic movie you've ever seen,
right down to the splashing in the surf
and the running hand-in-hand through the golden meadows at twilight. "
I love how everything she writes is so poetic.
