The fact that none of y’all untie your damn shoes is barbaric

Daphne grinned down at her phone and clicked it off. “They’ll be here any minute now,” she said. She couldn’t stand still and kept pacing back and forth, looking at his back while he dug out the clothing he had left behind from the bottom of her closet. Everyone had kept telling her to donate his stuff as a way of symbolically moving on, but Daphne hadn’t been able to bring herself to part with them yet. As it turned out, she was glad she’d held on to them.

“Thank you,” he murmured, dropping the bundle of clothes onto her bed.

“For what?” Daphne asked, turning her head slightly to give him a quick kiss.

“For not falling in love with someone else while I was gone,” Henry said wryly.

“I could say the same to you,” Daphne replied.

Henry paused, considering. “I was actually only gone three months.”

“It was a year and three months,” Daphne replied.

“For you, yes. But for me, I was only back from the solstice to the equinox.”
