We were walking near her house, and it was cold so I had my fists jammed in my pockets. She sent daughter back to her house to get me a pair of gloves. The kind of thing she does all the time. I don't even think she thinks to do it. Her kindnesses are automatic. Tonight, I asked my sister why she fell in love with her second husband. She said, "Because I've taken care of people all my life, and he took care of me." I said, "Well, I knew he was the one for you when the two of you wore those dreadful matching socks last Christmas." She laughed. I suppose I could say the woman I'm seeing matches me, that I feel matched. I could be more prosaic and say, "She suits me." I don't have a word. I turned around and there she was.
