My college boyfriend and I were not only “crazy in love,” we were “craziest in love.” When we talked to one another, we had so many “boos” and “poos,” and variations on “darling,” we could have been speaking a foreign language. We attended weddings and pictured ourselves as bride and groom. We had names for children who hadn’t yet been conceived.
