Terms of Marriage
For each minute of life we share, you may read one word from my JOURNAL until you’ve read it all.
JOURNAL is the bound book notarized by Shelby R. F. Goodman.

“HUSBAND, how many journals do you have?”
“More than one.”
“I want the opportunity to know you completely.”
“We share a common goal.”
“Does that mean what I hope it doesn’t?”
“Yes. The reason I write is to have the opportunity to know myself completely.”
“HUSBAND, I’m jealous. Your words need to be for me.”
“That’s what I’ve written in the other journals. That’s what you can’t see. That it takes this much work to believe what I believe.”
