In Between & Undefined

zweisamkeit
(n.) the harmonious, often romantic togetherness of two people; a feeling of closeness or affection from being together with someone

Sometimes, there aren't words to describe the relationship between two people. Other times, there are words, but they fall pathetically short. As trite as the phrase sounds - and as maligned as it has been by not so subtle innuendo and lurid gossip - "special friends" best describes you and your most favored companion. The friendship is deep, no one can deny that, but its also more than that. Much More. What you share is romantic, too, though perhaps not on the same terms other people think in. Really, nothing about you two can be defined...and you don't want that to change.

You've found the one person you enjoy spending time with and can be comfortable around. Both of you are just enjoying being here together. It's that easy. It's that comfortable. They're one steady point in this crazy world, and you never have to put on airs around them.

Whether you need someone to comfort you, decompress or share hobbies with or simply offer a shoulder to lean on in silence, relax. They've got you covered, and, for once, you don't have to keep your walls up. Take the edge off.

It started with a simple text. Let's get out of town. Karen knew a place near Vermont, a little cabin she and her family had gone to before so many summers ago. Karen called in and rented it, waiting for the weekend to come, hoping Frank wouldn't back out.

She set to meet him outside of town, pulling up her car to the small diner. She was dressed down for once, jeans and a button down, and walked into the restaurant with a nervous little flutter.
