Between His Wife and His Lifelong Best Friend

On our wedding anniversary, my husband did something incredibly rare. He brought home a bouquet of flowers.

The second he walked through the door, he didn't even take off his coat. He went straight for a glass vase, carefully filling it with water and patiently arranging the stems.

"What put you in such a good mood today?" I asked, a genuine smile touching my lips.

"Amanda bought them," he replied with a light chuckle. "She told me she'd kick my ass if I let them die. How could I not take this seriously?"

Amanda. His female childhood best friend.
