There will be the shirt with its dangling buttons, but the buttons will be sewn back in place. There will be the sweater you thought you lost the previous year at the theatre, clean and folded and back on its shelf. Then there are the things, if you are particularly lucky, that this person has done for you while you're away: how in the pantry, in the freezer, in the refrigerator will be all the food you like to eat, the scotch you like to drink. ![]() And, of course, there is the person you come back to: his face and body and voice and sent and touch, his way of waiting until you finish whatever you're saying, no matter how lengthy, before he speaks, the way his smile moves so slowly across his face that it reminds you of moonrise, how clearly he has missed you and how clearly happy he is to have you back. ![]()
