09:00:00:00 | Alex | All right, crew, thanks for hopping on this call. Jamie and I have been talking about turning this Montauk trip into a reset, so we're planning to arrive a day early to focus on us before the fun kicks off. I'm picturing sunrise walks, that little couples check-in journal we started, and a promise to leave work talk behind. |
09:01:05:00 | Jamie | I appreciate you all giving us the space for that. I've booked a session with the relationship coach we met last year, and she's squeezing us in the afternoon we arrive. It feels big, but I want to carry that energy into the beach bonfire night with everyone. |
09:02:10:00 | Priya | That sounds beautiful. While you two settle in, I'll handle the grocery run so the fridge at the rental is stocked with snacks and mocktails. I found a farmers market near the lighthouse; we can meet there the next morning, then bike back along the coast together. |
09:03:30:00 | Marco | Love it. I can organize the shared calendar: day one is travel, day two is couples time for Alex and Jamie until dinner, and day three is the big surf lesson. I'll also confirm the catamaran sunset cruise for Saturday—figured it'd be a relaxed way to celebrate whatever breakthroughs happen. |
09:04:55:00 | Tessa | Speaking of breakthroughs, I'm scouting sunrise photo spots so we can capture those quiet moments before the day heats up. There's a dune overlook that glows golden at 5:15 a.m.; Alex and Jamie, I can hand you the camera so you two can document your reset privately if you want. |
09:06:20:00 | Alex | That would mean a lot, Tess. After the coaching session, Jamie and I want to spend time writing down what we need from the weekend. Maybe we can share highlights over dinner so the group knows how to support us without making it feel like a therapy retreat. |
09:07:40:00 | Jamie | Agreed. I'm excited for the structure but I also want to laugh and swim and eat lobster rolls with you all. If things get heavy, I'll signal Alex and we'll take a breath together—maybe step out to the porch swing at the rental. |
09:09:00:00 | Priya | We'll keep the vibe balanced. I can host a low-key playlist-building session that first night you're all together. Everyone picks songs that remind them of summers when they felt free, and we save a special track for your relationship toast. |
09:10:20:00 | Marco | I'll coordinate logistics so nothing interrupts the flow. Train tickets are reserved, I booked a van so we travel together from the station, and I'll double-check with the rental host about early check-in for you two. If a storm rolls in, I have indoor plan B's ready. |
09:11:40:00 | Tessa | I'm prepping a cooking night with seasonal seafood and a chilled peach salad. Jamie, maybe you can share one thing you're proud of each time you stir the pot, and Alex, you answer with one thing you're grateful for. It can be playful while still honoring the intention. |
09:13:05:00 | Alex | That's adorable and very us. I also want one afternoon where it's just beach towels, gentle waves, and maybe a couples journal prompt you all secretly pick for us. We'll treat it like a treasure hunt—Jamie and I find the envelope, read it together, and reflect. |
09:14:25:00 | Jamie | Yes! And after that, we all regroup for kite flying by the bluff. I want reminders that growth can feel light. If anyone sees us slipping back into old patterns, gently toss us the kite string and we'll take the cue to pause. |
09:15:50:00 | Priya | I'll prep a grounding kit—lavender oil, breathing cards, and a shared journal page—so the porch swing moments have a ritual. We can close each night by jotting one win for the relationship and one memory as a group. |
09:17:10:00 | Tessa | I'll capture the documentary side: candid Polaroids, a mini audio diary, maybe even a slow-motion video of the two of you running into the surf. We'll only share what you approve, but I want you to have artifacts of how hard you're working for each other. |
09:18:25:00 | Marco | I'll wrap us with logistics again: I'll set reminders for departure day, confirm the yoga class Jamie wanted, and book a farewell brunch table overlooking the harbor. We'll leave Montauk with hearts full, plans captured, and your relationship reset anchored in all of us cheering you on. |
