    Summary

    A year ago today, two significant things happened in the life of Bob Wheeler, Detroit's king of compression socks.

    First, he had a heart attack that landed him in the hospital. Which led directly to the second...

    ...he fell in love.

    With a firm but kindly Nigerian nurse with dreadlocks down her back and a minuscule gap between her front teeth.

    As minuscule as the little hint of a sadistic streak that made him love her more.

    They were beating the odds to make it work, and then an insidious little breath-inhibiting virus got between them, leaving him with just his memories...

    ...until the day they can meet again, assuming the pandemic fades at all.

    Should it ever lift, he has to say what's in his heart.
