Two glorious weeks of beautiful sandy beaches, bright sunlight, and a radiant Shawn had left me in the best mood of my life. We had spent more than half of that time away wrapped in each other's arms, tangled in the sheets or covered in sand.
But there was wonderful news on the way home from the trip. Our house was finished, and it was time for us to move the furniture in. I had a lot of things that I had already purchased and had in storage waiting for this time.
I spent that first week back from our trip staying at Shawn's place every night as we both picked out our new things and packed the things he wanted to take with us. He was giving up the apartment and giving most of his things away to friends, family, or charity.
Shawn said that all he wanted was his keepsakes, photos, and clothes. I tried to convince him to take more, but he said he wanted to fill our home with things that represented us together.
