Abril Morlan // Mexico to Glasgow

Your soft landing is ready.

Última ubicación: México. Estado actual: demasiado lejos de mí. I might know someone nearby. Meri jaan, report home immediately.

A warm Glasgow flat at night with roses, flat keys, sushi, takoyaki, sake, and tiramisu arranged as a surprise.

30 June // 19:00 // Glasgow

Hola, Abril.

Glasgow gets you back at 7 PM, and I am acting normal about it. Obviously.

Where is your husband? Right here.

Now playing WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

Arrival briefing

Mission: get Abril home, warm, relaxed, and spoiled.

01

Soft landing

No loud plans. No pressure. Solo algo tranquilo, bonito, y pensado para ti.

02

Nine months

Nueve meses contigo, y todavía me pones nervioso, meri jaan.

03

Wife-coded behaviour

You are coming to my convocation with my mother. I will behave. Mostly.

Landing clock

Seven PM is not a time. It is a threat.

Landing mood

How should your first hour back feel?

Soft it is. Quiet lights, warm food, no interrogation until you have recovered from the sky.

Post-flight recovery protocol

Algo rico. Algo dulce. Algo suave. Cero estrés.

I know what you like. I pay attention. Ven a casa, princesa.

Almost nothing

A few quiet details.

Nothing loud. Just the kind of things that say I was thinking of you.

Landing sequence

The evening does not need to perform.

19:00

Touchdown

You land. I pretend not to check my phone every twelve seconds.

After

Soft reset

Warm lights, no rush, and enough quiet for the month apart to leave the room.

Later

Back to us

Algo rico, algo dulce, and you close enough that Glasgow finally makes sense.

Un mes sin verte

I missed tiny things.

The one where you laugh and I immediately forget I was trying to be cool.

For later

Pick a line. I will deny practising it.

Ven a casa, Abril. I kept the evening soft for you.

Not a real proposal. Yet.

¿Te casarías conmigo?

Very serious question. Entirely official. Definitely not legally binding. Choose carefully, princesa.

After 21:00

Dangerous eye contact. Reduced personal space.

Te voy a besar como si te hubiera extrañado. Porque sí. Muchísimo.

No prometo portarme bien. Pero sí prometo cuidarte.
