Dearest Landscaper,
I have always worked hard throughout this past year...but the hardest part is right around the corner. It started today and you were wonderful. We still have to make many "changes" on both of our ends but at least we are both aware it is necessary.
I think you really are going to make me ASK for closeness and that's pretty annoying. I don't understand how you know me so well.
I need to figure out how to make our bond stronger again because I really need it for the next chapter of our trip together.
