This conversation:
Me: I can't handle so many social obligations in a row; may I back out of the middle one please? I'll understand if you want to go alone. I'm anxious and I really want to be at my best for your party because that one is the most important.
Him: Of course - we can do something where it's just us that weekend, if you want. And please don’t worry too much about my party... if you want to stand quietly in the torchlight with a drink in hand looking cute, I’m still glad that you’re there.
And I'm always very happy and incredibly grateful to be there, with you.
