When Emily needed something, she was always available to her.
That is why I found it even more curious that I kept that little tradition a secret.
A few weeks later, I left the glass aside again.
The next morning, Victor looked at me and asked:
You didn’t finish your glass yesterday.
How do you know?
He smiled.
“We’ve been sitting together for thirty-five years at this hour.
That response further increased my curiosity.
Since then I began to think frequently about the history of that bottle.
Until our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary arrived.
Victor released an old photo album.
We spent the afternoon remembering some of the best moments of our life together.
In the end, he pointed to the bottle and said:
“Someday you’ll know why this little tradition has been so important to me.
“Why don’t you tell me now?”
