"My name is Marie," the woman said, "and this is my husband Carl."

The next couple looked angry, the man was the one who stepped forward and said, "I’m Bill, this is my girlfriend…"

"I could fucking introduce myself!" the woman snapped.

"Fine then!" Bill said angrily.

"I’m Stacey."

The third couple looked timid, and my impression was right, they were too scared to introduce themselves.

"Why don’t you introduce each other," the instructor suggested.

"Okay," the man said softly, "this is my partner, Alfred."

"You know I don’t like Alfred," he whispered thinking we hadn’t heard him, but I could tell we all did by the way everyone was fidgeting uncomfortably.

"Sorry, his name is Ally," the man corrected.

"Thank you," Ally said, "this is my partner Jackson."

The instructor nodded and looked towards me and Tina. Fuck. Tina noticed my distress and gave me a small smile, then said, "My name is Tina and this is my partner…"

"Fiancé," I corrected.

"Fiancé, Bette." Tina adjusted.

"Welcome all of you," the instructor said, "my name is Will, and I will be your trust building instructor. We will do trust-building exercises in here for half an hour than each of you will get personal alone time with me for the rest of the time. Now let’s start with the simplest form of building trust, the trust fall."

"Seriously?" I whispered.

"Bette, come on," Tina urged.

"Fine," I said with a frustrated sigh.

"I want you to drop yourselves completely into each other’s arms, if you can’t let yourself go then you have some trust issues that need a lot of work," Will instructed.

"Ready?" Tina asked getting in front of me.

"Yes," I said bending my knees and putting my arms in front of me. Tina let out a breath nervously and she let herself go. By the time she got to my arms I noticed she bend her knees to catch herself.

"Hmm," Will commented, "now switch."

I turned around and I looked back at Tina nervously. I hesitated then exhaled deeply and let myself go. I couldn’t help but bend my knees to catch myself. I heard Tina let out a frustrated grunt as she pushed me back up to my feet.

"Wow, you two," Will said, "normally only one partner doesn’t trust the other, that was the case with everyone else, but neither one of you trusts each other. I think we need to set up some extra sessions. Come with me." I sighed in annoyance and followed the man with Tina trailing behind me.
