I say and she laughs and the loud roar of an engine sounds down the street. We both turn to look at where the sound is coming from and I see a guy on a motorcycle coming up the street. He stops at the house next to mine, at the end of the street and removes his helmet.

Ian’s parents and a couple of maids who worked for them are the only ones who now occupied the building, as all their children are grown ups, who now have families of their own with the exception of Ian. He is the last of three children, having an older brother and sister. Max, Ian’s older brother is also in the military, the Air Force to be precise. He already is a senior officer with two kids, who are already teenagers.

I was interrupted which I'm thankful for. "Relax girl, Javi and my husband has been doing this for a long time, they know what they are doing. It's even a family business." Family business? Does this mean that Ace..? No, it's not possible. What if? No, Ace is not that type of person, right? So do I even really know him? "Family business? Javi's brother works with them?"

For the first time, my parents pull me into a hug and gently reassure me. "It's okay. We'll pay for you to retake the SAT next time." Tears well up in my eyes as I promise them, "I'll get into a good college next time. I won't let you down." They prepare a lavish dinner, then send me off to bed with smiles.

I'll be headed to a top college soon!"

The family gathered for dinner, conversations flowing without hidden resentments or underlying fear.

It was sustainable in a way I hadn't thought possible. Three weeks into the apartment, we were learning how to be a couple in actual functional relationship space. Which meant discovering that physical intimacy couldn't be isolated from everything else. That sex existed within the context of how you treated each other during the day.
