Yesterday was really fun. Nika and Amir's bonding is very different from Roman and Claudine's because they are a couple at a different time in their lives. Although both Nika and Claudine come from troubled childhoods that both men are a critical part of moving them out of; Nika and Amir are embarking on the future with hope and a vision for the future, while Claudine is reflecting on what used to be with Roman and how things got where they are now.
All that to say that Amir and Nika's bonding gets to be more playful, youthful; things that young folks do. Movies, Ice Cream, Pizza, lots of joking around. So that was a nice break from some of the heaviness of Roman and Claudine's bonding--but I wouldn't like it if there wasn't that intensity either.
So we went for dinner, then they went to see Valentine's Day. After that Nika tried on some clothes at Pea in a Pod. It was interesting to watch their dynamics; how she really helps Amir not take himself so seriously, and how he helps her feel secure with his focus on the future. They went to the jeweler to look at rings, him more interested in a nice band than her. Very sweet. Next week, we get into the rehearsals...this weekend prepping and resting.
