Summary
On our fifth anniversary, Jerome Walsh's childhood friend, Nora Blunt, comes back from overseas.
"I'm back! Happy anniversary!" she laughs.
Jerome's face lights up. He slips an arm around her waist and fusses over her, taking her coat, fetching her slippers, and pouring her a glass of juice.
Meanwhile, the candles sit forgotten beside our fifth anniversary cake.
After dinner, Jerome hands Nora a gift. It's a giant stuffed toy with "Happy Ten Years, Nora and Jerome" stitched across the front.
That's when it hits me that the anniversary he's celebrating isn't ours. It's theirs.
