RILEY. On the first day at the hotel with Alec, we had dinner together. On the second day, he decided that we should use the spa. While he couldn’t go into the pool or the sauna, he insisted that I enjoy them while he watched from the side. Every time I glanced over at him, his eyes were on me. We really needed this time together, especially with everything going on right now, and it has brought us closer. During our massages, he held my hand tightly. He’s acting like I could disappear at any moment, but luckily for him, I'm not. The fact that he’s spending Christmas with us makes me so excited. I thought I wouldn’t get to see him at all, but here we are, enjoying each other's company while we can. “I love you,” he says as we lay in bed together. He had just finished making love to me.
