she says, guiding us to the section with the pods that look like floating eggs.

I take in a deep breath and the mossy scent actually transports me to a beautiful tropical green forest. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to travel to such a place, but for now, this will do!

“I’d also like to introduce you to your therapists today. This is Kaya and Milia,” Sheila says as two serene-looking women appear. They’re both wearing beautiful silky beige flowing dresses and have big smiles on their faces. The kinds of smiles you trust immediately.

I’m relieved to see that the people who will be giving us our massages will be women. I’m not sure if I’m ready to have a man touch me yet. In any way. If I can, I’m going to stay a mile away from all men for as long as possible.

Blaire is talking casually to the women while I look around. I feel some joy today. This place is beautiful, I’m glad to be able to experience this with my best friend whose loyalty and friendship I can rely upon. I am also glad that my baby is safe; it’s growing healthy and strong. My doctor has said I have nothing to worry about and that she predicts I’ll have an easy and happy pregnancy.

And yet…I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something. I’m missing Kirk’s presence. Despite the things I heard him say to his brother, I wish he was here to experience this with me.

“You coming?” Blaire’s voice interrupts my thoughts, and I look up to see her smiling and holding out her hand to me. I nod and join her.

I just need to take it one day at a time, and soon enough, I’ll get over him.

The massage room is even more enchanting. It’s like I’ve stepped into a beautiful cave. The walls of this cave are covered in moss and flowers that emit the most soothing fragrance. There are tropical plants everywhere. The sound of a stream plays in the background. It’s so realistic that I can’t tell if it’s just a recording or if there’s an actual stream somewhere nearby.

Blaire has gone into her own “cave” while my therapist, Kaya, led me into this one.

I’ve already changed into the robe that they gave me. So I’m completely naked underneath it. Usually, I would be self-conscious and a little shy but Kaya makes me feel completely comfortable.

She shows me in, talking a little about the session she is going to give me. There’s the comfiest looking narrow massage bed in the middle of the room. I surprise myself with my own enthusiasm. I can’t wait to get started! What if I fall asleep in the middle of this? It wouldn’t be the worst thing!

“I’m not sure if you know, but I feel like I should tell you…I’m pregnant,” I say to Kaya while she starts preparing the oils and products she’ll be using. She turns to me with a glimmer in her eyes.

“Congratulations! Don’t worry, this is completely safe for baby,” she replies. “Now, why don’t you lie down on the bed. You’ll have to take your robe off. Do you need my help?”

I shake my head, and she turns back around.

I slip the robe off and use the step to lie face down on the massage bed. I feel like I’ve just stepped onto clouds and can feel myself sinking down. My muscles immediately relax. I’m already in a dream-state.

From the corner of my eye, I can see Kaya walking towards me. I feel her fingers pull up a soft sheet over my body to cover me up halfway.

“Now, all you have to do is close your eyes and just focus on the sound of the stream you hear. Can you do that for me, Kim?” Kaya asks.

I close my eyes and focus on the sound just like she’s asked. It takes me a few moments to slow down the buzzing thoughts in my head, but it’s not impossible. This is the first time in a long time that I’m able to calm myself this way. I’m not even paying attention to Kaya anymore. She could be talking to me, but I don’t hear her. I’m ready to get lost in the magic of this experience.

Some moments later, I feel the touch. Strong hands covered in some kind of magical, soothing oil start gliding over my back. I take in a deep breath and sink into the moment. Why didn’t
