One time, I asked a teacher we all knew very little about--who had seemed so crabby to us in class, so strict and exacting--what her greatest accomplishment was. And she said without hesitation: "My wonderful marriage. My devoted husband has been the love of my life for more than two decades."
You see someone so differently when they talk about love.
Did you read Possession in college? I was OBSESSED with it senior year. It probably was assigned in one of my classes, but I can’t remember which one. I will never watch the movie.

Yes, Robin, I believe I read it in college as well. I don’t recall it being an assignment, but I don’t trust my memory on that front for sure. 😂
