It happened on an ordinary afternoon, the kind that usually slips by without much thought. My husband was heading out to the supermarket, and before he left, I asked him to pick up a few things—including a personal-care item I needed. It wasn’t a big request, just part of the everyday routines we share.
When he returned, he set a familiar package in my hands. It was the exact brand I always buy, down to the size and style. I looked at him, surprised.
He smiled, not dramatically, not trying to impress—just warm and genuine.
“I remember,” he said. “I’ve seen you choose them so many times.”
It was such a simple answer, but I felt something soften inside me. It wasn’t about the product; it was about the fact that he noticed. That he paid attention without fanfare or reminders. Love, I realized, often shows up quietly in the background of our lives.
