The Missing Piece

Kim just loves jigsaw puzzles.  I've never been a fan.  With little success, she often tries to get me to appreciate and join her in puzzling.  One night, sometime back, she yelled with excitement from the dining room, "Preston, come see this awesome puzzle Michele and Adam sent me".  Complaining and criticizing began to take hold of me.  "Oh no, not a boring puzzle", I thought.  I yelled from the other room, "Not right now babe", like the countless times I've replied before.  "But I need help finding a missing piece," she replied.  Reluctantly and with a sigh, "Okay...I'm coming".  I have to admit, when I saw the puzzle, it was incredible.  Each piece was made of maple wood and laser cut into unique and intricate shapes.  Kim had already completed half, so I asked, "What missing piece are you looking for sweet pea?"  Her response, "You my love.  You are my missing piece."  Awe...maybe I do like puzzles after all.
