The last day before seven weeks apart. From in front of his computer at the kitchen table, Mike has proposed a plan of attack for the morning’s life admin before they head out at noon to go see the poppyfields. Still waking up slowly, and with a cup of coffee on the couch, Lisa has proposed an alternate plan.
Mike (with slightly less than his usual measure of good grace): “Fine then.â€
Lisa: “What happened to loving the fact that I’m different from you?â€
Mike: “I love your differences. I love them so much that I would never want to change you. Just the things about you that are wrong.â€
Lisa: “Huh. And do you have a list of those things?â€
Mike: “Well, as a matter of fact, let me just pull that up.â€
Lisa: “Material to keep us busy on the drive out to the poppy fields?â€
Mike: “That’s a two hour drive.â€
Lisa: “Well, time enough to make a good start, at least.â€
