The house seemed to hum with a quiet electricity. She’d found the pages of his novel tucked between the pages of a cookbook. It had been like uncovering a hidden treasure. He’d written about her; the character was clearly based on her. Every detail was so accurate, the way she chewed her lip when she was thinking, the way her brow furrowed in concentration. She felt giddy.

She started cleaning, but she wasn’t sure why. Then she decided to paint the living room. She was practically vibrating. This was a day for grand gestures.

Later, she greeted him with a long, lingering kiss. "I love you," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. He smiled, confused, but clearly pleased.
