“He wasn't the type for displays of affection, either verbal
or not. He was disgusted by couples that made out in the hallways between classes,
and got annoyed at even the slightest sappy moments in movies. But I knew he
cared about me: he just conveyed it more subtly, as concise with expressing
this emotion as he was with everything else. It was in the way he'd put his
hand on the small of my back, for instance, or how he'd smile at me when I said
something that surprised him. Once I might have wanted more, but I'd come
around to his way of thinking in the time we'd been together. And we were
together, all the time. So he didn't have to prove how he felt about me. Like
so much else, I should just know.”
