Sag Harbor. Ten Years.
Nov. 25th, 2009 04:03 pmTraffic was snarled from Delaware well into Long Island, and it took us about seven hours, but dinner was waiting, and my parents grabbed us in long happy embraces. We ate shrimp and catfish with dark green vegetables, and we watched Star Trek 2009 on my parents' new flat screen television, and we taught my mother how to use her new laptop, and we talked and talked.
Because my childhood room is tiny, I have a tiny single bed that only I can sleep comfortably on. Adam has been sleeping on the air mattress that my parents provided. However, it sprang a leak in the middle of the night. He tried curling up with me in my doll bed, and wound up sleeping downstairs on the long couch in the living room. Today, we removed the mattress from the bed in the studio, the room across from my bedroom, and put that mattress on the floor next to my bed.
Adam and I went into Sag Harbor town for our traditional lunch at Conca D'Oro Pizzeria, home of the best pizza I've ever had. We visited Lee, our jeweler friend who had created my custom engagement ring, the one that holds some of the diamonds from Adam's family heirloom ring. We went to Provisions, the little organic shop around the corner from The Corner Bar. We walked around a village covered in mist and fog and beauty and silence and it was extraordinarily soothing.
Now back at my parents' house, we sit and relax. It is so very quiet here.
Today is the tenth anniversary of our first kiss, our first hand-holding, our first date, our first night together.
It's been ten years.
Love you, Adam.
