Every new relationship needs a little alone time, right?  Plus, it’s important to find out how you travel together. How you collectively handle stress. Like do arguments flare if there’s no shade at noon or if the bar runs out of tequila, that kind of thing?   So in an effort to determine if I’m in the middle of a Kindle fling or if this is the start of a long term commitment, I’m sacrificing a week of my time, pulling myself off the couch and taking my Kindle to sunnier climes. It’s a hard job but our fledgling relationship needs the test. The Martian is coming too. He’s carrying my baggage. He’s good that way.
