word count: 211

three months until.

i'm searching on my phone, once again, trying to budget cut and price check everything. worrying about everything.

the dinner that joshua took us to. it didn't set us back, thank god, but it didn't push us forward either. i feel like im subconsciously drowning.

"tyler?" joshua puts his arms around my waist, yawns and lays his head on my shoulder.

"good morning."

"you're doing it again."

"doing what?"

"over working, over thinking, not enough sleeping."

"am i?"

"it's two in the morning."

"i did say good morning."

"come back to bed."

"im not tired."

"you are, i see it on your pretty face."

"but all the expenses?"

"worrying about how much something costs isn't going to make the cost go down, honey."

"no i know."

he shuts the computer from under my arm.

"then don't worry. i know you're worried. but i'm here. while i'm here, everything's gonna be fine."

it's dark now, the light from the computer screen is gone.

"how are you so sure about that, j?"

"you haven't called me 'j' in a hot minute."

i feel tears fall down my face. 

"oh no. hey what's wrong?"

he lifts me up, and i can see the outline of his face.

"i've been an awful fiance."

"no, you haven't."

"i'm sorry. or god. i'm so sorry."

he holds me tighter, "you're okay. everything is okay, honey."

"how are you so sure?"

"because you're here."
