Diyan and I often used to walk along the towpath beside the river. It was peaceful and pretty, and I had really enjoyed those walks to begin with. Then, before he went to Iran, I started to get bored of doing the same old things. He was happy doing normal couply things, like cooking a meal, watching television and just being at home in the evenings. He liked routine. It made him feel secure to go to the supermarket every Saturday or stroll along the same stretch of beach we had visited a hundred times before. But I wasn’t interested anymore in sitting with him on the swings at the children’s play park, watching the sun set in a glow of colour across the river. Perhaps I had grown so complacent in my belief that we would always be a couple, I felt safe wanting to go to parties and do all the other things 16-year-olds want to do rather than what I saw as mundane ‘couple things’.

I sometimes got frustrated with Diyan and told myself he was stupid. But it was only because I was angry with the world and sceptical of his belief that love and kindness could make bad things better. The truth was that I loved him. He had been my whole world for almost three years and the only good thing I had ever had for as long as I could remember. So although I sometimes lashed out at him, it hadn’t ever crossed my mind that, when he came back from Iran, we wouldn’t find the middle ground and be together forever.
