Lena's: POV
I really enjoyed myself tonight
We had a lovely meal together
Our friends got us gifts. Everybody was on their best behavior. Sara didn't come
I never laugh that much in my life, we were taking things we use to do back in the day. Everybody went there separate ways, me and Stef drove to the beach.  We walked hand in hand
Our anniversary turned out to be beautiful, Stef made it special how she planned everything

Stef's: POV
I was so glad that Lena enjoyed
Herself this evening. I was happy to see Lena smiling again, Lena doesn't think l know.  I hear her crying at night, that's why l plan the romantic getaway weekend
I wanted Lena to relax. I didn't know Lena was still struggling with the loss our baby, she hid it very well. Lena use to be good at expressing her feelings, did l missed the signs. That my wife was in pain, every time I would ask Lena. She would always say she's fine, l suggested that she go to therapy. That didn't go so well
I think it affected her more than me. Cause Lena buried herself in her work, there were times
When I wanted to hold Lena
Lena pushed me away. It got to the point we stopped making love. That went on for six months, l didn't take a offense it
What hurt the most. Lena left and went to stay with her parents for a while, that literally broke my heart. That Lena left me, to deal with the kids. So we have come a long way since then
I never want to be away from Lena. That's why us getting away meant so much to me. Now where walking on the beach
It. To watch the sun set, l brought a blanket for us to sit down on
I held her in my arms. Kissed her on her neck, while she sat between my legs.
