Like your piece mentions I end up asking questions like what and why and how.

There was really something on that street tonight. We lingered there at the end for some reason. (It was so strange to think about that room being his study.) I've left the houses of my first marriage in other cities and I've preferred it that way. Tonight made me want to linger in front of them and look back on my life with some kind of perspective.
