A man who knows that the answer to almost every problem can be 
found in a box of Joseph Schmidt truffles. 

A man who will join you in a bubble bath, then assist you in 
cleaning the bathroom when you have vigorously emptied the tub 
of water and bubbles without opening the drain. 

A man who can flip you over one shoulder and carry you to the 
bedroom, where he feeds you ginger-garlic shrimp from the Fire 
Horse Cafe and then eats you. 

A man who when asked what he wanted for his birthday, rummaged 
in his kitchen drawer for a spool of unused Christmas ribbon, 
then gently tied a bow in your hair. You stood there smiling 
and crying until he kissed you, and you never wanted him to 
stop. 

A man who has always loved you. 

Scully dropped her old keys in her landlord's mailbox and took 
his hand. 

"Let's go home, Walter."
