In the morning, Gil walks to the university, where he's studying to be an
entomologist. He tells her how spiders don't get caught in their own webs.
How much weight an ant can carry. Totally useless facts that make them both
happy.
She walks to the donut shop that eventually becomes a bar. To her job behind the bar that eventually becomes her job on top of the bar.
She's slightly embarrassed by the whole thing, but she sees no alternative. Unlike Gil, she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, only that she wants to always be able to have this brilliant man love her.
Every day when Gil comes home, comes back for another day, another round, it surprises her. She reads into it, seeing in the act of going through the doorway as more than that. As accepting life in that house, as accepting her, as accepting everything.
She would be heartbroken if he didn't come home one day
