Content Disclosure: Sexual Innuendo
Martin and Mari married the year after graduation. Martin was a tall, thin White man with black glasses. Mari was a short, fat Black woman with white glasses. It was a mixed marriage—sort of—they both majored in mathematics, however, Martin minored in statistics, whereas Mari minored in accounting.
They had a remarkable romance—they had never had a fight, not even a small one, never a disagreement, nor even raised their voices to one another. They were committed to absolute fairness and equality in all aspects of their relationship. It was a match made in Heaven, or at least the Euclidean domain equivalent of such.
Martin trained as an actuary, Mari as a CPA. They loved the small suburban starter home they purchased together soon after their wedding. It had a slatefence, enclosing a lush green yard with a lovely old apple tree in the center. Martin was a bit relieved to not be beholden to lifting Mari over the threshold. Rather, after they got the keys, they unlocked and opened the front door together, then held hands and jumped across the threshold simultaneously.
