Beautiful simplicity

The fact that he made the bed with grace and care while she was showering this morning should not have been a fact worth remarking upon.

The fact that he kissed her when she was wet-haired and robed should have been nothing so very significant.

The fact that he brought her coffee, made the eccentric way she liked to drink it, should have been equalled by a 'Thank you'.

The fact that these three pieces of beautiful simplicity stood out so prominently in her mind made her question a horrible, swarming multitude of her previous decisions and acceptances and made her wonder, 'This beautiful simplicity; could I love it?'
