In other words, my phone conversations with my husband were not exactly the breathless, romantic calls I'd imagined they'd be, the kind where you whisper sweet nothings into your lover's ear.

You say, I first fell in love with you, while you think of my first romantic story is dull, no roses, no sweet talk, there is no hypocrisy, plain and in good faith only.

Do not think that old couple, do not sweet talk and the romantic.
