This seemed different. We had gotten to the point where we had kept it a secret, or at least not wanted attention, and now I feel like I&#8217;m not going to not be proud. Which isn&#8217;t the same thing as wanting to pose on a red carpet together, either. People make their own assumptions and that&#8217;s what worried me.
