"Okay, 3.35. Thank you, bye."

Cara hung up her mobile, and leant against the doorframe, watching Raf making omelettes in her kitchen. She felt a smile spread across her face as she watched him, knowing that he wasn't aware that she was stood there. She quietly tiptoed across the room, slipping her arms around his waist, grinning as he immediately turned around, wrapping one arm around her shoulder whilst his other hand kept hold of the spatula, manipulating the omelettes into the perfect form. Raf kissed the top of Cara's head, content with the way this morning had gone.

They stood there in silence for a few minutes, until Raf had to, albeit reluctantly, let her go so he could serve up their breakfast. They carried the plates over to Cara's small kitchen table, where they quickly ate, regularly exchanging glances. As they finished, Cara took a breath, letting it out slowly through pursed lips.

"You okay?" Raf asked.

Cara nodded. "Yeah, I am. I just wanted to tell you that I've booked an appointment to see my doctor this afternoon. I want to ask if I can go back on my anxiety and depression meds for a little while."

"I have to say," Raf said, watching her carefully, "I think that's a good idea. Would you like me to come with you to your appointment?"

Cara frowned slightly as she considered his offer. "Thank you, but I'd rather go in on my own. I know I have been talking to you, but I might find it easier to talk to my GP without anyone else listening."

Raf nodded in understanding. He would probably do the same thing if he were in Cara's position. He got up from the table, clearing away their plates, already thinking about the day ahead and wondering if Cara would want to do anything before her appointment. However, Cara took his silence as disappointment, and he quickly turned back to her when he heard her whisper an apology.

"What are you apologising for?" he asked, sitting back down opposite her and holding her hands.

"I didn't mean to upset you. If you would rather come in then I guess that would be okay."

"Hey, I'm not disappointed at all," he reassured her. "This is very personal to you, and I don't want to make you feel pressured or uncomfortable. I was only quiet because I was wondering if you would want to do anything before your appointment?"

Cara blushed slightly, feeling foolish. "I guess this appointment can't come soon enough, can it?" she asked, a small smile appearing on her face.

Rubbing his thumb over her knuckles, Raf gave Cara a reassuring smile. "You're doing fine. Do you feel up to doing anything today, or would you rather just relax?"

After thinking about it, Cara decided that she would rather just have a relaxing day in front of the TV. Happily agreeing to this, Raf let go of her hands, they walked across to her living room, where they settled down on the sofa, Cara immediately curling into Raf's side, sighing contentedly.

"Hey, Raf?" Cara said, waiting for the man in question to look at her. As he glanced down at her, she gave him a smile, and pressed a kiss to his lips. She felt butterflies in her stomach as Raf smiled against her lips, and hugged her closer to him. They were both pleased that they were moving forward, and were now free to show their feelings to each other.

As they broke apart, Raf lifted a hand to sweep a few stray strands of hair from Cara's face. "What was that for?" he asked, affectionately.

"Just because," Cara replied, a wide smile spreading across her face.

Raf laughed, accepting her reason. "Well, in that case…" he trailed off, kissing her again, enjoying how happy they both were in this moment.

And that was how they spent the rest of their morning; with a film playing in the background that neither could tell you the plot to, and the new couple sharing kisses on the sofa.

Right now, Cara had never felt so happy, and she decided to ignore the anxiety that was building about her upcoming appointment. That could wait; right now she was being held by the man she had been watching from afar for months, and nothing was going to put a dampener on that.
