A love letter disguised as a countdown

Come home,
beautiful
trouble.

Malin, I've missed your laugh, your kisses and the delightfully distracting trouble you bring into my life. Juba is about to get a whole lot lovelier. And I'm about to be a lot less well-behaved.

COUNT DOWN TO YOU A LITTLE MORE MISCHIEF ♡
P.S. I've been saving up kisses. A ridiculous number. ↗

03.11KISS ME · JUBA
THE WAITING GAME

Until I can hold you again.

Tuesday, 3 November 2026
09:20 in Juba, South Sudan (UTC+02:00).
Not that I'm counting or anything.

00days
00hours
00minutes
00seconds
Every second is one second closer to you.
An extremely unofficial itinerary

Three little promises.
And a few bad ideas.

Some plans are too good to put in a calendar. This is what I'm looking forward to most.

01 / ARRIVALS

The airport kiss.

One long hug. One even longer kiss. I'm warning you now: a polite little peck is not going to cut it.

02 / AN ENCORE

The birthday girl.

Your 26 October birthday deserves an encore. Something lovely to drink, something to celebrate, and all my attention.

03 / NO DEADLINES

Do not disturb.

Slow evenings, close dancing, stolen kisses and absolutely no reason to check the clock.

Actual itinerary subject to kissing delays. ♡
A few daydreams from Juba

South Sudan, starring
Malin & Mika.

First, somewhere respectable. Then, somewhere delicious. And finally… somewhere without an audience. Three playful, imagined scenes inspired by our photos—not photographs of real events.

01 / SUNDAY BEST

First, the church.

We can behave for at least the first ten minutes. Probably.

02 / CANDLELIGHT

Then, dinner.

A little wine, a lot of eye contact, and a very good reason to skip dessert.

table for two, please ♡

03 / JUST US

Finally, no plans.

Nothing to rush. No phones. No interruptions. Just us.

A note just for you

Min älskling,
come closer.

The Nile will still be there. The sunsets will still be beautiful. The world will keep spinning if we ignore it for a little while.

But having you here, close enough to touch and laugh with and kiss whenever I feel like it? That's the bit I've been missing.

So come home, sweetheart. I've saved you the best place in Juba: right here, next to me.

All my kisses, Mika ♡
PARENTAL GUIDANCE: QUESTIONABLE SELF-CONTROL

Sweet dreams.
Wicked thoughts.

A little note for when the lights go low. Choose how much trouble you want me to confess to. Either way, I make absolutely no promises about behaving.

dear Malin,
I want to hold you close, kiss you slowly and make a whole evening feel like it belongs only to us.
In case you need more convincing

A little love.
A lot of cheek.

Until 3 November, consider this your pocket-sized supply of love notes, shameless flirting and entirely unreasonable longing.

just between us...

I've missed your kisses more than is socially acceptable.
