One Point Short of Love

Summary

Hallie Shaw lived her life judging everyone with a rigid scorecard.

When we were dating, she used to say that any person or event scoring below ninety points wasn't worth a second of her time.

After marriage, every single thing I did was evaluated.

On our wedding anniversary, I prepared a full spread of her favorite dishes. She took one bite and said, "Eighty-nine points."

Then she set down her utensils and left to share a meal with Miles, who allegedly had a poor appetite.
