That meant sleeping in together, running some errands, and usually doing something for dinner, and maybe going out to a movie or something. It was time that we specifically set aside because our lives were so busy, we weren't getting the usual evening chats or holding hands on the train like we used to.

Once life has settled again (in a couple of years), we'll go back to enjoying every night being a date night, with a few "other people" nights thrown in for variety.
