It’s funny. You wait your whole dating relationship to finally be alone together, right? But it wasn’t actually that exciting for me when all the guests left and we returned home, just the two of us for the first time. It was nerve-wracking! I found myself worrying about what we would do, if we would get bored or sick of each other, wondering what to talk to him about. On the outside I was fine, but inside I was freaking out!
We had taken Bre and Jonathan to the bus terminal and when we got home, the apartment was so quiet! We were finally in our house, by ourselves, we could do whatever we wanted, and that terrified me. There were no rules, no one telling us what to do, just us.
Last night I asked Jairo if he was nervous too, and he gave a resounding “yes!”. He said that for him it was weird, and he didn’t really know how to behave. Now we’re well into our second week and the nervousness and uneasiness have worn off. We’re emotionally settled in, although not physically unpacked, and it feels like home. And since we’re technically on our honeymoon still, even though we’re at home, we’ve been together the whole time since we got here, which has solidified it being “our place”. It’s gone from being nerve-wracking to being reassuring to arrive at home after a day spent around Quito. It’s good to be home.
