Some days are saved for just having time to spend together. This was such a case. 
Yes. I'm that lucky!
So, as we started to have this date, I had something to give someone. While we waited, we decided to have some coffee at our usual spot. They already know the order. Two Americanos; one strong, one light. This time, we added a cheese bread to have something to eat. I was waiting on a client to give a board I had finished some days ago. She had to go back to her place to finish setting up something on Amazon for the editorial house she and her parents are running now. Busy people taking the time to be together.
Yes. We are that lucky!
Another of our favorite activities while doing such a thing is to indulge in some gossip. It is not actually a bad thing to share some of your stories with your significant other. It is a way of bonding. However, the opinions are always there and the idea of sharing your views on the facts often arises some interesting points of discussion. While we are at it, coffee is like the much need pause between the acts of an anecdote. It helps to build tension and also prevents getting a dry mouth while speaking.
The conversation tends to get more serious as we get to the topics of work. I have to start teaching Academic Writing tomorrow. By the time we had this coffee, that was still something that looked very far in the future. Time just comes and goes. Very much like having a sip of coffee and realizing years have gone by in a whiff. Something we discussed during this coffee was the idea of art courses. She was a bit reluctant during those days, but the idea has started to grow on her as time progresses. Teaching something a day a week might be another good source of income. And, lo, we do need some sources of it for future projects.
Besides, one can learn a lot from teaching people something you already know. If you can't make it simple, you just don't know it enough. I haven't had many teaching experiences, but the few that are in my memory have been interesting in their own accord. Having a look at the progress of your students in something is like a magical feeling. There's nothing like it.
While we talked about the possibilities of many things, we were surprised to find out that it was past noon. She went back home for her meeting and I stayed around looking for the options to have lunch. We had some pizza. That's a story for another post!
