When my Spanish husband spoke to his parents, I never questioned the language barrier \u2014 until my friend, fluent in Spanish, joined us for dinner. Halfway through the meal, she grabbed my arm, eyes wide with horror. \u201cYou need to talk to your husband. Right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The scent of freshly brewed espresso and warm churros filled the air as I sat in a quaint caf\u00e9, journaling my thoughts about Barcelona.<\/p>\n
A deep, velvety voice interrupted my scribbling. \u201cExcuse me, but you look like someone who enjoys good conversation.\u201d

\nI tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, unable to keep from smiling back. \u201cAnd what does someone who enjoys good conversation look like?\u201d<\/p>\n
He gestured to my journal. \u201cThey write when everyone else is taking pictures. They sit alone but look comfortable doing it. They notice things.\u201d He extended his hand. \u201cI\u2019m Luis.\u201d
\n\u201cEmma,\u201d I replied, shaking his hand.
