It's been fourteen years since Justin and I got married, promptly got pregnant and buried under bills and diapers and jobs and playdates. Although our love remains steady and strong, an avalanche of daily details have taken us farther away from each other. I’ve lost count of how many years it's been since we were truly alone.
But here we are now, in idyllic Hawaii, on the dream honeymoon we've been--well--dreaming about for years. There's a roast suckling pig, my husband in a lei, and a sunset over the ocean that would put Bob Ross to shame. Still, we seem to be missing each other, like two hula dancers passing in the night.
I've got four days to put the spark back in this marriage and I'm bringing out the big guns: sexy dress, strappy heels, grotto sex to scandalize the other guests. But when the outside world starts infringing on this intimate scene, my husband's eyes move to a hot new business prospect instead of hot little me.
If a honeymoon in paradise can't bring us back together, do we really have a shot at this thing? Can we say aloha to each other again?
Charlotte and Justin have been married for fourteen years. They quickly jumped into pregnancy, bills and focusing on school and work. Over the fourteen years their relationship took a back seat. Charlotte focused on the household and taking care of the children, while Justin focused on his career. Charlotte fears she has lost her identity. While Justin struggles with his fear of failure. The plan, one overdue honeymoon to reignite the spark and to bring them back together or not.
I enjoyed this short story. Marriage is hard work and it's easy to get a little lost. Coming Together made me laugh, warmed my heart and left me a little flushed. 5 Stars
