I'm a big fan of this. For some reason, this line really struck me: “At least let me bring some takeout by,” Lee asks. “We should break bread together at least once.”

What's beautiful about this whole story is that you get a sense of a tension between what conventions each of them thinks *have* to be observed--a real culture, with laws and norms that can bite, just like all cultures. It's just that it all becomes so wonderfully dense. "We should break bread together"--a thing married people should do. So Lee's sense of propriety demands takeout, Kara's, tattoos.

This is painful and wonderful. It's just a deeply absorbing premise. Kudos.
