Got it. See you tomorrow, honey

ME

Honey?

EZRA

Yeah. It’s your wife nickname

Honey?That’s what he’s chosen?

A memory pops into my mind unbidden. It’s from a night at the bar in Greece when he thought he could do a better job at karaoke than me.

Watch and learn how it’s really done,honey.

The nerve of that motherfucker. He’d pissed me off. Mostly because hewasbetter than me.

ME

Hmm, we may need to work on it…

What’s my nickname for you?

Pumpkin?

EZRA

No

ME

Sugar lips?

EZRA

Absolutely not

ME

Sweet cheeks?

EZRA

Try again

ME

Daddy?

When he doesn’t reply right away, I worry he’s ghosted me. But…

ME

OMG

Did we find *the one*?
