A year after her boyfriend’s death, Haylee Penfold was used to expressions of sympathy or pity. But Kye’s reaction was different
‘Our date lasted hours. The talking mixed with nervous gestures of affection’ … Haylee and Kyen the first date with my now-fiancé, Kye, I laid it all out on the table. I figured there was no use wasting his time. He had to know what he was in for. Kye could tell I was nervous, but he probably thought it was just jitters. He was handsome. Dark hair, kind eyes and the same smile I remembered from primary school, where we first met.
I was 19. Not sure what to call myself. Not quite a widow, we weren’t married, though I had bought a ring to give him if he ever woke from his coma. Sadly that ring was never used. Our date lasted hours. The talking mixed with nervous gestures of affection. He held my hand in the cinema and I rested my head on his shoulder. He walked me to my car and asked if it was OK to kiss me. I said yes.Dating while grieving was hard – sometimes really hard. We took it day by day. Kye respected what I had to do to get through it.
