He’d never imagined himself bringing anyone to this spot. It was his and his alone, a place for him to make sense of his scrambled thoughts when work was too much and the gym wasn’t enough to calm him. As much as he adored you, his beautiful wife, he’d never been able to bring himself to take you to his spot—not before now at least.

His head is jumbled today and he needs time to think—but he’s been away at work all day, and he misses you desperately. He figures now is the time to show you where he goes to think—to truly open up every bit of his heart to you. There are no words as you sit beside him on the bench in that beautiful, secluded little spot in the park, just a comfortable silence and an air of peace. He gently runs his thumb over your knuckle as you hold his hand, and presses a gentle kiss to your cheek as a silent ‘Thank you’.
