“Do you just walk through the house and literally place everything you have touched directly onto the floor? Seriously babe, this is not what I want to come home to.” She said, exhausted and bewildered. She wondered how it was possible for him to not understand everything she had to deal with. Was she crazy? Like her, he worked full-time and went to school full-time. Like her, he barely had time to handle basic tasks. How could not think to at least pick up his clothes before she came home?
“Thanks for the dinner babe! It looks great! It’s so nice to see you too!” He said in his most sarcastic tone. He was beginning to grow tired of her constant need for perfection. He literally spent the entire day doing homework and working. He came home, kicked of his shoes and showered the scent of his day away with just enough time to throw together pasta and a salad. Did she even notice the meal he had prepared for her before she got in his case about his shoes on the ground?
Carmen and Aiden had been together for almost three years. Their story has one of the most romantic beginnings ever told. They knew the moment their eyes met that they had met their match. As they went out to lunches, and met each other’s friends they became even more convinced that they were meant for each other. They began to rely on each other in a way that was completely foreign to both of them. They laughed at each other’s sick jokes and smiled more genuinely than they ever had. They found themselves getting rid of their “late night only” phone numbers and bringing up each other’s names in conversations with their friends. They started making plans further than a week in the future, and calling just to say goodnight. They fell in love, and it scared them both beyond comprehension.
