So completely and utterly ordinary. And I thought, sitting there in the afternoon light with the city below us and Wednesday on the horizon and Italy somewhere beyond that, that ordinary was the thing I had been working toward without knowing it.

Yes, that's close enough. And to know that her eyes still light up, the same way they did when we started connecting, fills my heart with utmost joy. She should have forgotten me by now, but no, she hasn't. The planned hour to two, with Ava, has increased and I'm pretty sure, that we have reached 4 hours.

The kitchen held its warm quiet. Outside, the city's amber light deepened toward evening, and inside two people occupied their ordinary Thursday in the way of people who have earned the ordinary by having survived everything that preceded it.The specific texture of their evenings in this new quieter period was something she paid attention to, because she understood that the texture of evenings was where a life actually lived.
