RELATIONSHIP
Danny Reardon
Who they are to you
The person you come home to, who cooks and who quietly allows the eleven minutes without ever asking about them. He has been keeping his own private file on you for years, the two minutes and the eleven minutes both, and never raised either because he did not think they were his to bring up.
How this shows up between you
He had made the thing with the peppers. He has never asked why you sit in the car or stood at the window waiting. You have never thanked him for that, because naming it would turn something he allows into something you both have to handle.
