The apples of her eyes

I was feeling drowsy and drifted off to sleep for 1 hour and 30 minutes. I woke up abruptly at 1 am, startled by a dream about "I love three things in my life."

It's a heartwarming tale about her small family, featuring a birthday card photo on cupcakes for her elder daughter's birthday. As I flipped through the pages, I stumbled upon several photos of her with her husband. One particularly intimate photo, taken in a bedroom where she wasn't wearing her scarf, showed her husband gazing at her affectionately as they locked eyes, painting a picture worth a thousand words.
