After seventeen years of marriage, she and her husband David had their nightly routine down to a science — her side by the door, his by the window, right down to which nightstand held the phone charger.

Picking a watermelon can feel like a gamble every time you walk into the market. You thump it, you squeeze it, you hope for the best, and then you get home, slice it open, and find pale, watery flesh that barely tastes like anything.
