It does make sense, just keep in your mind, and in your heart, you are not in a race, there is no schedule of events, no timetable that says you have to do this and this and this, now, and in ten minutes, in two hours.. you don't have to do anything. You and Jess set the timetable, together. When you want to, when each of you are ready, comfortable.
Locker room feelings will be there. Its part of your life. Your memories, but your heart will find a way to change that feeling. Love will help.
