Easter

Anxious couldn’t describe the bundle of nerves I was as I waited under the “arrival” sign of the diminutive airport. Tristan’s suggestion to visit during the extended Easter holiday – a big deal for Scandinavians – had brought me to cloud nine … until I descended into a spiral of uncertainty. I knew it was stupid, really, to doubt what bloomed between us. Still, I didn’t feel up to the task. Inadequate. How could I possibly satisfy Tristan? Besides our fourteen years difference, which already pointed how much experience he had in the world, he was a movie star! Probably used to much more than a simple life and a fifty square metre flat overlooking a fjord, right?

How could I possibly compete with those models? Those actresses had unlimited budget to take care of themselves? Those rising personalities and incredible bodies?
