I asked him to call me before I left. Yeah, right, I thought. Fat chance. But to me it was a test. I admit it.
Well, wouldn’t ya’ know it, just as I was about to load the horses into the trailer, I get this phone call. Very garbled. Lots of static. Some sort of ship-to-shore delayed relay. It was him! He could only talk for about 90 seconds, but it was enough for me to go, “Okay. He gets me.”<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Oh yes, THE TEST. One known only to the one administering it, requiring oodles of psychic powers, sensitivity, the rules forever changing dependent on the mood. That, BTW, is the true difference between men and women. We dedicate a great deal of time constructing these tests, hoops, obstacle courses, puissance walls, all at the root to measure confirmation of love - and men, most of 'em anyway, haven’t a clue what’s going on. The poor things. 
I married Hans because of his heart-warming, knee-crumbling proposal: ‘the thought of marrying you is not offensive to me’.
