over their morning coffee
his milky and sweet, hers dark and bitter
he chose not to tell her
on their afternoon walk
under a fluttering canopy of emerald and gold
he chose not to tell her
while doing the dishes
she scraped and washed, he dried and stacked
he chose not to tell her
when they paused the movie
to make popcorn and her favorite hot chocolate
he chose not to tell her
