“You don’t celebrate anniversaries?”

“There’s more than one?”

“Anniversary of your first date, anniversary of your first kiss. The first time you made love, the first time you…” She trailed off as he raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Nobody kept track of those milestones. “Nothing. Are you sure you don’t want breakfast?”

“Are you sure you want to marry someone you aren’t in love with?”
