52 I Love You

“What are you doing, where are we going?” TangShi resisted as YuZhi came to her side of the jeep, took her hand and slid her out beside him onto the path of the car park that seemed familiar. It was a pretty day and the sun was peeking out from behind grey clouds with a promise of sunshine by noon. A gentle breeze pushing around them and giving a sense of tranquility to this already emotional day.

“Distracting you and reliving a happier memory. We both need a time out and figured this would be a nice change before we go home and face this head on. Processing time.” YuZhi coaxed her with him, aware of how sensitive today’s appointment was and the fact they both now knew she was pregnant. He didn’t want to dwell on the what if’s for at least a few hours and aimed for some head space to dodge reality for a little longer. TangShi had been quiet and pensive since leaving and hadn’t even noticed the route he took out here instead of heading home.
