Lila was still fast asleep. I had been saving steadily since I started work and knew I had lots more than that in the bank. I knew both our mothers wore an engagement ring as well as a wedding ring. I wondered if Lila knew how much a ring would cost. Our parents came as well to see us settled in and help transport our gear – not that we had much. Lila suggested we shower together only for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, end of exams. We had just settled into this new and independent routine when classes started. After dinner and chores finished, I was at my desk sorting through course material and timetables to make sure everything was correct. I thought to myself, if we are to go on a honeymoon, I will suggest Cape D’Adge and see what she says! Lila and I drove in my car as we thought we would be able to manage with one car. But it was something that, sometimes, you had to do.
