I noticed how much tighter your writing was--the clipped language works, and is definitely a part of your style. Also, the dialogue is picture-perfect. I didn't notice it before, but it was really amazing how you used the car battery as a metaphor for the experience of being revitalized with your husband. Maybe you didn't even intend for this to happen, but it comes through.

I love the changes you made.
Great!
