You see, that’s the thing. He may have settled with me, but Mags Carlsen is still the same forthright grumpy bastard who I met in the hallway that fateful day. The only difference is that he’s my grumpy bastard, and as such, I know that he’s a hidden softie, and he loves me deeply and more than I ever expected. His love humbles me. It’s fierce and uncompromising and impossibly loyal, like having a giant wolfhound at your back. And I love him in return. With others, I can be distant and distracted. I can solve their problems and avoid becoming involved, but I can’t be that with Mags because he holds my eyes and heart and full attention.

It’s lucky he understands artists and leaves me alone to paint, because otherwise, I’d follow this gentle grumpy giant around devotedly and never get any work done. I don’t know how much time we’ll be given together, but every day I spend with him is a blessing. My Mags. Min elskede.
