The closing paragraph of this piece as you describe this private, unspoken game between you and your wife brings an intimacy and dimensionality to your relationship that is so wonderful.
Loved Melanie's backward glance, her quick shout of "That's it!..."
Nothing better than a woman 's intuition...
What a beautiful place to settle into for a year. The conversation and introductions help me understand how love of place, what one knows and feels and learns in one's loved home, is everything... family within...
Thank you for words that allow me to see & feel & anticipate. Beautiful.
This is it! This is how that all started... Sabbatical, though, you've mentioned before, sabbatical from what I wonder. You don't need to answer, this feels so wonderfully old-fashioned - you, Substack, everyone - like letters crossing in the mail. Thanks for shoutout, brother, and the rec on Eleanor, what a wonderful piece.

Love the sabbatical home description, cigales and all, and the generosity here to Eleanor and Chloe: lucky gals!
