This morning, right before he left for work, I watched my husband pour his unfinished coffee into my cup of coffee. 
He didn't know I saw him.
It was... icky.
I cringed and laughed internally. 
It is wonderful, despite the fact that it irked me. He didn't even hesitate. He just did that. 
So, it's sort of wonderful. 
I think.
We've been married a long time. 20 years. 
So, I think there's a beauty in that moment... somewhere.
What was he thinking? 'Don't waste warm coffee?' 'I'll warm up her cup?'
Was it an endearing gesture of love, even though he didn't think I saw him? Was it a be wise with a precious resource moment?
And, I wonder, Was this the first time? Does he do this and I don't know it?!
Ah, married life. 
It is the most wonderful thing. Really, really.
It is the most wonderful thing. Really, really.
He better not be using my toothbrush. I would have to draw the line right there.

I've used your toothbrush. Often.
