TIFU when my wife asked when I knew I loved her.
I said “We were in Rome, the way you knew
so much about the city like it was second nature
to you. But I never felt you were condescending
to me when I’d ask stupid questions. I saw how
much you knew, how passionate you could be.
I’d been bored by all the old buildings, but
you brought it all to life. I think that weekend,
was when I realised you could be the
best thing about my life.”
She didn’t speak for a while, just looked
at me until she said three words.
“Our tenth anniversary?”
