I never thought he would be sappy. In public, he was so practical, so analytical, Ts crossed one after the other. He would talk about letting loose and taking risks, but I knew he never did, or at least not since he fell out of a tree and shattered his hip.

But in private, he was one sappy son of a bitch. I used to cringe at romantic movies where the male protagonist would hide love notes in his sweetheart's room or email her a love song for every day he didn't see her, but I found that I love sappiness in person, and I loved it in him, except he isn't anymore. Sappy, I mean.
