Anna’s suitcase has been lying open in the middle of the living room since last night. I look at it and wonder how one person going away for a week can possibly need this many things.
The suitcase is so full it doesn’t need an inventory. Anna has prepared for every possible kind of weather except traveling light.
“I’m only going away for a week,” she says without looking up from her phone.
“Then why are you taking the whole house with you?” I ask.
Anna finally looks at me.
“I didn’t take the whole house. I left you two behind.”
Her boyfriend is waiting in the car. It’s the first time they’re going away alone, and I know what’s happening beside me without having to look at Lena.
She’s trying not to ask anything else.
Suitcase. Tires. Car. Driver. Destination. Weather.
If she could ask for an hourly itinerary, she probably would.
And yet she restrains herself.
Lena smiles and tells her to have a good time.
I limit myself to three questions about the car and one long look at the young man.
By my standards, I’m a model of restraint.
Anna hugs us, drags her suitcase to the door, and leaves. We stay there until the car disappears around the corner.
The door closes.
The house falls silent.
For a few seconds, we stay there.
Anna’s bedroom door is half open. There’s a sweatshirt on the bed, and the charging cable hangs beside the nightstand.
Of course she forgot it.
I look at the room.
Everything looks as if she’ll be back in five minutes.
She won’t.
For an entire week, we’ll be alone.
I stand beside Lena. Our arms are almost touching, but I don’t touch her.
Twenty years.
Home. Work. Anna. Obligations. Schedules.
Once, I tried harder to change our rhythm. To do something we hadn’t planned. To go somewhere simply because the idea occurred to us. To try something because the thought turned us on.
Over time, I stopped.
Lena always had a practical reason.
It wasn’t the right time.
There was Anna, work, obligations.
And almost every time, she was right.
That was part of the problem.
It was never one big thing. I didn’t wake up one day and discover my wife was deciding everything.
It happened little by little: she organized and decided; I let it happen and made a joke.
And as the years passed, it became easier to play my role than to talk about why we’d ended up with that role in the first place.
Now Anna is eighteen.
That doesn’t only mean her room will be empty for a week.
It means one of the reasons I’d been using for so long to avoid thinking about what came next no longer exists.
I turn toward Lena.
She’s already looking at me.
“Well,” I say, as if I’m waiting for her to explain what this empty house means.
“That’s it? We’ve been staring at each other all this time for a ‘well’?”
“We’re alone for the first time in years. I was expecting something a little more enthusiastic.”
“I noticed. I just haven’t decided yet whether I should celebrate or start cleaning up.”
I open and close my fingers beside my thigh.
I don’t know why I’m nervous.
“I’ve spent the last two minutes trying to decide whether I should kiss you or wait for you to do it.”
Lena looks around the living room. Anna has left hangers, bags, and two shirts she rejected at the last minute.
“We have things to pick up.”
“That’s your answer?”
“No. That’s me trying not to give you what you want right away.”
I smile before I can answer.
“So you want it too.”
She throws a pillow at me.
“Start with that.”
I catch it.
Of course.
The First Night
The day passes almost normally. Our vacation time overlaps, but we haven’t planned anything: a little housework, the supermarket, takeout, and as much rest as possible.
A little after noon, Anna texts:
“We made it.”
I watch Lena type something.
She types, deletes, types again, deletes again.
In the end she sends only a heart and keeps holding the phone until the two blue check marks appear.
“You restrained yourself. I saw you type and delete at least twice.”
“You have no idea how much advice I sacrificed just to send one heart.”
I smile.
She doesn’t need to tell me what she wrote.
I can imagine.
That evening we sit on the couch. The TV is playing quietly, but neither of us is watching it.
I rest my hand on her knee.
She looks at me.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
I move my fingers a little higher.
“That is not a hand doing ‘nothing.’”
“It’s assessing the possibilities for the week.”
She smiles.
I lean toward her and kiss her.
The kiss is familiar.
I know when she’ll part her lips a little more. I know when her body will move closer. I know where her hand will go.
And she knows the same things about me.
Once, that felt like proof that we’d reached something good.
Now I’m not sure.
We go to the bedroom.
We close the door out of habit.
I hear the click and notice it.
There’s no one on the other side of the wall.
And yet my hand closed the door on its own.
I pull Lena onto me. She kisses me and lets my hands slide under her shirt. I find the clasp of her bra without searching.
Of course I do.
I could follow the whole route with my eyes closed.
We lie down. My lips move from her neck to her breasts. Her hand slips into my hair and keeps me close.
I know that touch.
I know when it means stay.
I know when it means keep going.
My fingers move down to the place I know.
Her body responds quickly.
I know that too.
We turn onto our sides. She touches me with the same certainty. My breathing grows heavier when her lips move down over my chest.
She knows every sound I make too.
She knows what it means.
She knows what comes next.
When I enter her, she closes her eyes. Our rhythm is steady, practiced, almost flawless. She lifts her hips at the right moment. I change the angle exactly the way I usually do.
I hear how much she’s holding back.
Still.
Even with Anna’s room empty.
The tension in her body builds but doesn’t crest.
I can tell.
It doesn’t worry me. She doesn’t come every time, and I’ve never treated it like a score.
What bothers me is that I know exactly what I’m going to do next.
And she probably does too.
My breathing grows heavier. I pull out and come on her with a deep groan. She holds me close until I relax.
Then we lie there and stare at the ceiling.
“You were whispering again,” she tells me.
“So were you. Like someone was still on the other side of the wall.”
“Anna is hundreds of kilometers away. We could have remembered that before we closed the door.”
“I know. I guess our minds learned it faster than our bodies did.”
“Then why did we act like she was studying in the next room, waiting for us to finish?”
I turn toward her.
“Because habit doesn’t leave with a suitcase.”
The moment I say it, the word sounds heavier than I expected.
Habit.
It wasn’t bad.
That’s the difficult part.
It was good, tender, safe, familiar.
So familiar we could almost do it without speaking.
I used to think that was what success looked like for a couple.
Now I wonder when intimacy became repetition, and repetition became a way of life.
“I was thinking about something,” I say.
“What?”
I turn toward her and absently stroke her thumb.
“When was the last time I stopped to see whether you wanted something different?”
Lena looks at me.
“I don’t know. But I can’t remember the last time I asked you for something different either.”
“That’s what worries me a little. Not that I don’t know you. That I know you so well I might stop asking.”
“And I might stop answering.”
I close my hand around hers.
“Then this week, we’ll do both.”
I say it, and something inside me reacts strangely.
I don’t know if I actually want us to fix anything.
I haven’t dared to say that clearly even to myself yet.
I only know I’ve been thinking for a long time about what happens when Anna grows up.
And now she has.
I get up.
“I’ll open some wine.”
“That’s your solution?”
“It’s the beginning of many solutions.”
The Wine
We sit in the living room with glasses in our hands. The TV is off. I pour a little wine, just enough to loosen our shoulders, not our judgment.
Lena takes the first sip.
“When was the last time we did something spontaneous?” she asks.
“At the hotel in Corfu, when we deliberately skipped the group excursion.”
“That was eleven years ago. It does not count as a recent act of spontaneity.”
“You didn’t know I’d remember the excursion too.”
“You always remember anything that makes you look more spontaneous than you are.”
I drink and look at my glass.
She’s not wrong.
But it isn’t the whole truth either.
Once, I tried harder.
Then I stopped suggesting things when I already knew how the answer would go.
No.
We don’t need to.
It isn’t practical.
What would we do with Anna?
We have work tomorrow.
And I’d found my own way not to argue.
A joke.
A shrug.
“Fine.”
Lena didn’t force me to become that man.
I allowed it often enough that eventually it became my role.
“What would you like us to do now, not eleven years ago?”
