“When I was small, I thought I might be a pilot in the military, and I would marry a ‘lady soldier.’” Tiny Sam had definitely used that phrase, and Sam said if wryly. “I’m pretty sure that was about the uniforms for both me and my imaginary wife. When I got older I guess I still thought it would be someone who shared my interests. I thought my ex might be the one, at first, even though he really wasn’t, because I felt very strongly that we should be in each other’s lives. After that ended so badly, I thought I’d probably end up with a woman, and maybe the reason it hadn’t worked with him was that I wasn’t very good with men, so I wasn’t looking for one.” And Scott had a very different story, of course.
