“I’m going to marry her, and though she might not realize it, this is the main reason why: she handles the nightmares like no one else has. She doesn’t ignore them and leave me thrashing in fitful sleep, doesn’t poke my ribs, saying, Hey over and over until I finally wake, like others had done before. One girlfriend used to get up and sleep out on the couch, pulling the bedroom door shut behind her. Sometimes I wonder if Leah would be offended if I told her that this was the reason I wanted to marry her. I hope not. It’s not an insult. It’s just the purest example of the type of person she is. This captures her. And I love her for it.”
