Marry Your Opposite

The rearrangement of the sales space at the Brooklyn Flea market isn't going quite as planned, and Katie is getting frustrated. "I just wish," she says, taking a deep, calming breath, "that something would be easy."

I think, but don't say, about how this is one more way she and I differ. She will often start a project thinking it'll only take "a few minutes," and it ends up taking a lot longer, whereas I think a project like making some bookshelves will essentially take the rest of my life to complete, and so never get started.
