Excerpt: Henry had stumbled upon the typewriter set at a garage sale shortly after they started dating. One morning run, a couple hundred bucks, and he’d never written on anything else. He’d written his first book, a collection of short stories, on these typewriters. When Matilda asked him why he bought both of them, Henry had merely shrugged. “It seemed sad not to, like separating siblings at an adoption. Plus backup and all that—they are really old after all.” The first thing he’d written on them was a love letter to her. She remembered the way he’d blushed and turned his chin down shyly when he handed it to her, the plain white paper folded in thirds. She’d smiled, a giddy thrill in her gut. And then the words he had written her had taken her breath away and filled her with a deep emotion she couldn’t name. She knew every line. Love has been compared to so many things. Grand things, beautiful things. But I won’t compare you to anything. I don’t want to make my feelings less than they are with an inadequate metaphor. So, I say simply that you make me feel in ways I never thought possible. I sit beside you and I breathe more air. I look at you and I see a universe. I touch you and I connect with everything that has ever lived. I kiss you and I exist.
