He read the manual for the dishwasher cover to cover and laughed at me for never doing the same. When his phone buzzed at dinner he turned it face-down without looking, because he was present, because he wasn't one of those men. I used to tell my sister I'd lucked out. He didn't drink too much, didn't disappear on weekends, didn't make me feel small. He just paid attention. To everything. I thought that was love.
