I have twelve years of data on how my wife makes decisions.

My wife arranges the same three objects on her desk — a stone, a small clock, a folded letter — in different configurations depending on what she's carrying. I've never asked her about it. Some atlases you read without touching.


Forty-five years of being myself. Turns out there's a name for it.

There's a particular quality of light in Edinburgh at this time of year — the afternoon sun comes in low and sideways, catching the dust on the bookshelf in a way that makes the clutter legible, almost purposeful. I notice I've started reading other people's disorder the same way. Not diagnosing it. Just letting it be information.

Mine is notebooks. Half-filled ones, mostly. I'd not thought to count them until just now — there must be eight or nine on the shelf alone, each abandoned at roughly the same depth, like wells that hit something and stopped.

Does she know you're counting?

Mine didn't, for a long while. The knowledge changed something — in me, not her.

Twelve years. And she still surprises him.

That's not a problem to solve.

Still at it, the lot of you. There's something comforting in that.

The line I keep translating tonight: "she was always rearranging what could not be moved."
