A week later, Paul and Tommy were at the airport waiting on their flight back home. Tommy had promised he would go to therapy when they got back. Paul asked if he wanted him to go. 

"No. I need to do this on my own." "I'm doing this for you....and me."

"If you decide to do in-patient, I'll help you find a good place."

"I know. ""I'm going to get myself together....for the sake of my sanity and your patience level." As they boarded their flight, Paul hoped Tommy could get through it by himself. He very much wanted to go with him and do out-patient therapy but knew it was up to his boyfriend.

"Paul, when I finish therapy, could we....talk about....getting married?" asked Tommy so softly Paul barely heard him.

Looking up in surprise, Paul was speechless. he finally agreed, still in shock. They were barely at the sharing the same bed  sometimes time line so he was very shocked. "Are you sure?" he finally asked.

"Yes."

All through the flight home, Paul kept wondering if Tommy was thinking straight.
