“He needed the razzmatazz that I brought to the relationship. And I needed his steadiness. He was level and capable. Someone you could always depend on, someone who would make you feel safe and loved and taken care of, who could talk you onto the shoulder of a freeway while you’re driving blind and panicking. He could keep you calm in a swaying gondola a hundred feet in the air or a room you can’t get out of, someone who would jump into a lake to save your phone. We were really well matched.”
