My stomach twisted.
“What did he say about me?”
My husband pushed his chair back and snapped, “We’re leaving.”
But I couldn’t move. I needed the truth.
I looked at Ben, fighting back the tears gathering in my eyes.
“Please. Just tell me.”
Ben glanced at my husband, then slowly turned toward me.
And when he finally opened his mouth, I realized the nickname I had carried for years might have been born from the one thing I never expected my husband to say about me.

Ben took a deep breath.
“He said you were so sweet, so soft, and so easy to love that you reminded him of butter. He said he’d never met anyone like you.”
For a moment, nobody spoke.
I turned toward my husband, waiting for him to look at me.
“That’s it?” I whispered.
He finally lifted his eyes. “I was embarrassed. The guys teased me for being so crazy about you. The nickname stuck, and I didn’t know how to explain it.”
