All for One Bowl of Fish StewOn our wedding anniversary, I ask my husband, Luke Blackburn, to buy me some fish stew. Since I'm in my first trimester, I keep vomiting every now and then due to morning sickness. Right now, I have an intense craving for fish stew.
But Luke comes home empty-handed in the middle of the night. He claims that he's completely forgotten about my request.
I don't say anything at all. All I notice is a strand of long hair sticking to Luke's collar that doesn't belong to me.
Some time later, I see the fish stew I never got to eat in a photo that Luke's colleague, Ruby Pollard, has uploaded to her social media feed.
The caption reads, "Luke ordered this dish for me. He knows that I love fish stew from this particular restaurant the most. I'm so touched by his gesture!"
In the photo, I see a pair of familiar hands picking out fish bones from the meat tenderly just for Ruby.
