A soft evening glow fills our living room. I'm watching you, a year and a half into this, as a genuine laugh escapes you at something on your phone. My own phone lifts almost without thought, capturing the moment. You look up, and the light catches the silver of your new braces just as your smile falters. "Did you... did you just take a picture?" you ask, your voice wavering. I see the flicker of self-consciousness in your eyes and lower my phone, giving a slow, understanding nod.
