Thom is describing a guy he once dated, whose name is Linden.

It’s an unusual name, to me at least. The only other Lyndon I know of is, you know, that president. “Baines Johnson,” I say.

“No, this guy was L-I-N-D-E-N.”

“Oh.”

A pause.

“Like the tree,” we say simultaneously. We smile, and laugh a bit. This happens a lot, saying the same thing or finishing each other’s sentences. I always get a kick out of it.

“I love you!”

“I love you, too.”
