[OC] Marriage Secrets

Marriage takes patience. It takes love, that is true.
But I've picked up a couple husbanding shortcuts too.

I know when she's hungry before she's aware.
I know where we're going from one little stare.

I know when “That's fine” isn't fine in the least.
I know when she wants me to order the feast.

I know when she's cold. I know when she's hot.
I know when she wants something she says she does not.

I know when to follow. I know when to lead.
I know what she's thinking before there's a need.
