She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible.

她被深深地感动了。一个有思乡情结的男人一定很爱家，很关心家人。他一定是值得信赖的。

She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.

于是，她也谈起了遥远的家乡，她的童年和家人。他们的爱情故事就这样拉开了帷幕。

They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!

之后，他们常常约会。她发现他宽容、善良、热情而细心，这些正符合她的标准。她想，若不是那杯咸咖啡，她或许就错过了他。

So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.

最后，他们结婚了，幸福地生活在一起。每每给他冲咖啡时，她总会放些盐，因为他喜欢喝咸咖啡。

40年后，他去世了，留了一封信给她，信中的内容是这样的：

My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar.
