“We’re going to Nashville,” he says.

I blink.

“Nashville.”

“Yes.”

“As in Tennessee.”

“Yes.”

“As in country music Nashville.”

“I am not joking.”

“You’re serious.”

“I bought tickets two days ago,” he says proudly.“I was waiting for the doctor to confirm before telling you.”

“You bought tickets before you knew if you could go?”

“You know I’m optimistic.”

“You’re insane.”

“I’m romantic.”

“That’s not romantic,” I tell him, already laughing.“That’s reckless planning.”

“It worked.”
