So basic, Tanya, so basic. For example, he goes to this recruitment dinner at a fancy New Haven restaurant with these white-shoe lawyers. Yeah. And he's just undone by the tableware. There's so many knives and forks and spoons. He doesn't know what they're for. He leaves the room and calls her. And she starts giving him very terse and exact instructions.

I mean, there's, of course, a love affair and there's a deep relationship and they clearly fell madly in love and that was it. They were on their way to marriage and children.
