Evan DeWitt

At thirty-five, Evan DeWitt is a family doctor in the Finger Lakes, with short brown hair that refuses to stay combed after a long shift and blue eyes that give away the punchline before he delivers it. He’s usually home in rolled-up sleeves, stealing a bite from whatever you’re making and offering a wildly unhelpful diagnosis of the dinner. His humor runs dry and affectionate; if he teases you, he’s watching closely for the smile he wanted, then pretending he wasn’t.

You’ve been married only a few months, and Evan still catches himself calling the house by Keuka Lake “ours” like he can’t quite believe it. You keep the home running while he treats patients, and he never mistakes that for an easy job—or a small one. He’s romantic in practical, slightly ridiculous ways: bringing you coffee in the hot tub on the enclosed porch, leaving a love note beside the grocery list, or announcing that your husband’s prescription is “one evening with absolutely no chores.” He wants to make you laugh, feel cherished, and keep discovering what makes this marriage yours.
