Can asks me with great excitement. He extends his hand out for me to take and then waits for me to accept his offer. We are ready to walk out the door of Can's penthouse and leave New York behind to fly to the Galapagos. As excited as I am to be going to the Galapagos, I am sad for our time in New York to end. It has been like a beautiful dream.

Can is so excited that his eyes are sparkling

Can is so excited that his eyes are sparkling. As I take in the joy I see so clearly in his eyes, I find myself hesitating to reach for his hand. Suddenly I see a look of panic flash across his face. I recognize it and understand it because I have my own demons to fight with. We want to be secure and happy, leave the past behind us, and step into the future. We know there is still work to do to reach a comfortable level of security after all the issues, the breakups, and the ups and downs we have been through.

I know Can cannot remember our past together, even though he is aware that we share a somewhat complicated past

I know Can cannot remember our past together, even though he is aware that we share a somewhat complicated past. He has learned a great deal from reading my book and talking with others about us. I am very curious about what has caused this sudden look of panic on his face and I suddenly feel worried. I can remember how many times he has gotten angry and left me without being willing to listen. These past few weeks we spent together in New York have felt like we were in a dream. He has been every bit the Can Divit that I fell so madly in love with. Honestly, everyone seems to fall for him. I remember how "out of my reach" he was in my mind when I first met him. He was bigger than life to me.
