“I love you too Katie, always have and always will.”
We kissed again trying to hold onto this moment.

It was Tuesday at 10am as we walked into Dr Forsyth’s office holding hands, before taking our seats. That was not lost on Ana as she looked over her glasses at us with a smile on her face.
“Is there something I should know about, have you two been doing some extra therapy on the side?”
“You could call it that, is lovemaking therapy?”
“It’s the best kind Katie, the best kind.”
Having said that she then got to business.
“Alright lovebirds, we are here today to conclude our sessions together. I want to start by saying how proud I am of both of you. The honesty and willingness to work through this, along with difficult explorations into your own feelings, actions and emotions. To see you both sitting here happy together makes the work I do all worthwhile, so thank you.”
We both nodded our agreement and looked over at each other.
“I think a big part of my work for this session you have already done for me. It was to advise you on how to reconnect with each other to begin the process of allowing you to love one another again. But I can see that those bridges have well and truly been crossed already.”
“So, we might as well get straight to the outstanding issues that you both need to address together to make sure that your relationship has the best chance of succeeding this time.”
“Now with each item there were different options to choose from, with you selecting the option you prefer for your item. Today we will discuss those items and the choices made with both of you together. If either of you has questions or problems with the other’s choice, please speak up Okay? Now is not the time to keep your feelings to yourself. Agreed?”
