Emily ordered pizza while her fiancé was away, expecting a calm night alone, not a life-changing message. Unknowingly, the delivery would save her from a bad marriage.
Living with Jake was like being in a routine. I thought our modest flat with its soft wraps and odd cushions was our refuge. Emily here, and Jake and I have made simple joys a routine for three years.
On idle evenings, we ordered pizza from the same local spot most often. It was ritual. Jake checked movie listings while I called our favorite pizza.
