Even with our busy schedules we still find the time to date. We are technically engaged but I feel like we should stay engaged for a little while longer...just until we can find a suitable date for the wedding. Am I just scared of marriage, even when Tim asked me to marry him I was hesitant but I saw so much love in his eyes that I said 'Yes' .
Every touch and cares he gives me these days is why too rough and needy. I don't shy away from giving him what he wants but I feel like it's not enough.

Tim has decided to make Friday our day off . So Friday nights have become our weekly date nights. From morning till noon me and Tim sleep in and we wake up to baking. We both prepare a special snack and we put together a picnic basket.

Since no one on our building uses the rooftop patio ,we have made it ours on Friday nights every week. While on Monday's till Thursdays its used by the rest of the building.

×Two months later...

Today is our last Friyay night picnic in Autumn. We've already been here for two months, well I have and its been great for me and Tim. We have reconnected greatly since moving to Durban and I feel like Dr Stein's monthly session's are paying off now. After the whole Hawaii incident me and Tim had drifted apart, both of us choosing to deal with the traumar separately. Even in university we still couldn't figure out what we were, so we both equally drowned ourselves in our work and ignored the pain of our past. But after countless therapy sessions together and apart it was easier opening up .
