After three constant hours of rides, swapping rounds so everybody gets a turn, kids and Nathan included, we stop for extremely expensive theme park food where Tommy and Nathan battle over the bill. Nathan wins. The burgers aren’t actually that bad; even Nathan agrees and he usually hates fast food. That said, the lettuce within is pitiful; it’s a quarter piece and the ends of the leaf are wilting.

The rest of it is great though. I’ve never felt so hungry but now that I’m full, I’m dreading the loopy rides. We settle on taking the kids on a few rides instead; they’re slower and safer on our bloated bellies.

Out of everything, I think the sea lion show was the shining point for Nathan and Dillan. It had nothing to do with the fact SpongeBob made an appearance… nothing at all.

I’ll never understand their obsession with said cartoon. It’s good but is it obsession worthy? Not in my opinion, though I never make them switch the channel. It makes them happy and that makes me happy.

“Are you having fun?” Nathan asks as we sit in a round boat on a magical water ride through colourful tunnels, each telling their own story with peculiar looking miniature people.

I rest my head on his shoulder and hum, hating that with every passing second we come closer and closer to the end of our day out. It feels as though we’re in a completely different life. Tomorrow it’s back to reality, back to work and back to how things are between us. Let’s hope the past few weeks of tension don’t come flooding back the second we step into its familiar environment.

“I’ve never seen you smile so much.”

My smile has been a permanent fixture all day. So much so that my jaw is aching and so are my cheeks.

“It’s nice.” He kisses my temple and then turns to look at the boat behind us where Tommy and Sasha wrestle with the kids. We both laugh at their struggles.

“It really is,” I agree and sigh away my troubles. I worry too much. Maybe it’s me who has been bringing the tension into the home and that’s why Nathan avoids me so much lately, because of my moods. Or am I talking myself into happiness again based on something that doesn’t exist?

Who knows anymore?
