Forever. That’s what I want with her, that’s where we’ll end up. She wanted me to say that last night when we were buying groceries for a meal we never got to eat, but she wasn’t ready to hear it. She’s not ready now, either, and that’s okay because we have time. Time to heal. Time to trust. Time to bask in the moments of connection we’ve been running from for so long. We’re in one now. A moment. And unlike all the other times we found ourselves wrapped up in each other, Nadia is right here with me and she shows no signs of wanting to leave.
