I was truly moved by it and I know that in his own way, Ethan was too. We naturally fell into our own silence as we simply observed the moment together. Even if we had just had that it would have been enough. It felt very special to me.
Eventually we went back inside to tend the fire and indulge in an early dinner of delicious charcuterie, flourless chocolate cake and red wine. We had planned to watch a movie on my laptop, but we weren’t in the mood and didn’t want to disrupt the “nest.” Instead, we talked broadly about life and how we see our place in the universe. It was a deep and restorative conversation, and not one I could imagine us having over dinner in a busy restaurant, or even at home.
We were colder than we’d expected, so getting out of the “nest” for any reason was a challenge. We joked about setting up a bucket system near the bed. We ended up laughing hysterically about that. In the morning we decided to leave earlier than expected. The cottage wasn’t winterized and while we were comfortable enough for the first night, we were very limited in our movements inside the living space. I also didn’t want to undo the meaning of the night before. We packed up quickly and went home, restored and connected. It was one of our best dates, after four years together.
