Sometimes I forget that I'm the owner of my body and I'm not just housesitting until the person whose home it really is gets back from vacation. Thankfully whoever lives here always leaves me a roster that includes a list of the people in her life so I don't embarrass her with my social ignorance. Yesterday, she left me with the person she had labeled as "boyfriend" in her reference contact list. And even though I didn't recognize him as mine, when I stole glances for intel purposes, I felt this surge of emotion like she had left the electricity running in the room she dedicated to him.
