That in-flight picture is worth 1,000 words if I ever saw one.
Combined with a story so simple yet so vibrant you can almost touch it, makes it a very endearing read.
A string of fleeting moments and conversations filled with deep affection, fond care and loving exasperation, the story gives off a bit of that ‘old couple’ energy, settling comfortably in your imagination.
Loving each other’s idiosyncrasies really comes to the fore with this one, gently and seamlessly going with the flow of the narrative.
This is definitely one to remember fondly – for its lingering meaningfulness, for how ‘being together’ looks like after years.
