When I first opened
the café on my own,
I thought that maybe
marriage just wasn’t something
that would happen for me.
But now,
my husband is part
of the café,
and our son
has been born.
My parents seem relieved too,
and although they get tired,
they watch over our son
every day.
You might imagine
that my husband
would be a foreigner,
but he turned out to be
a rather rare Japanese man
who seems to think
of himself as one.
