He saw all those private aspects of me--my darker side, my meanness, my pettiness, my self loathing--all the things I kept hidden. So that with him I was completely naked, and when I was feeling the most vulnerable--when the wrong word would have sent me flying out the door forever--he always said exactly the right thing at the right moment. He would grab my hands, look me straight in the eye and tell me something new about why he loved me.Transition--pffft.
