My cat Carmen was sick last month, and she had to be admitted to be given fluids and monitored. I lost it and came home crying to Tom, ready to comfort me. I took a hot, teary shower, put all kinds of creams on my chapped nose from blowing and puffy eyes from crying and sore lips from the cold, and I looked at him - a complete friggin’ mess - and these were the sweet words exchanged…

ME: This is what you get.
HIM: I love what I have.

HIM: Do you ever feel like you’re settling with me?
ME: I feel like you’re the prize I got for NOT settling.
