The Measure of Us

Five years of dating, and the apartment we'd move into after the wedding had been Adrian Cole's project from the start.

I went to check on the renovation progress today. The moment I stepped into the kitchen, I realized every countertop on the custom cabinetry was absurdly low.

I'm five foot eight. Using them meant hunching over the entire time.

I snapped a photo and sent it to Adrian.

【The countertops—were they done wrong?】

His reply came fast.

【No, they're fine.】

【That's standard height. Just deal with it. It's not like you cook much anyway.】
