But as I’d told him back then, you have to come from nothing to have that chance. You have to pay your debts. “Yeah, well, I have ten years’ worth of loans,” I’d said. Sometimes I wondered if, when we got married, he would pay them off. If that would make me a different person. If he’d like me quite as much. "
