Six months or so after we got together, my sister got married. The date she had chosen was my former anniversary. She'd asked me if it would be weird and I had said "I guess not"--by instinct, mostly, because I was still so accustomed to ignoring any emotions that might deform the space around me, anything that might bring down the room. My boyfriend knew better. He showed up with a box of candy.
