Question

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

What I   36   most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we   37   ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   38   his family as cold. When we got into the   39   to go home, his father suddenly appeared   40   , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his   44   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I

My anger   49    as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I  50   and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was  51   at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be  52  . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

Far too often, I ignored their  53   expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my  54   .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to   55    other persons’ love signs.
