Couples Retreat
He’d wanted to take me to a beach where the sand was warm and soft.
I said no.
His intentions were nice, but I couldn’t help the fact I longed for more.
I wanted adventure.
He was unsure, but he was confident any time away from real life would be good.
He would try.
I was touched by his attempt at compromise–that I came up with my own.
We would climb.
This idea didn’t thrill him, but he was looking forward to the sand.
I couldn’t wait.
He handled the climb well, and the beach was truly a sight to behold.
We made it.
And now, we’d be spending the next two weeks away from the world together.
The first of many.
