Back to Back

They sat back to back on the beach, a man and woman, each reading a book and each relying on the back of the other for support.

I could think of no better physical example of how a healthy relationship. Each person in the relationship able to rely on the certainty that the other is there to support them.

Beyond that, I thought how perfect a way it was to spend the day lost in a book yet still connected with the love of your life. Rather than sitting in chairs side by side, only nebulously aware of the others existence, this couple was intimately involved even as their minds traveled the worlds revealed in the written page.
