Chapter 2: the book addict rejoins the world

[Jaquaia]

A huge part of me feels like I'm overreacting and making things more difficult

[Mira]

I do not think you are overreacting. This is how you feel. And feelings are important. And most of the time they are good indicators. And I do think you have a good sense.

[Paula]

Overreacting? I know I’m a drama queen but I think you’re underreacting. In your situation, I’d be jumping up and down. But, you’re not me and that’s not how you do things. However, J does seem (from everything you’ve said) to do everything very, very carefully which is sometimes a good thing. But sometimes it’s not .....

[Suzi]

Overreacting? Definitely not! This is important. It's not just about him and his kids, it's about your future too love and mostly about your heart and emotions....

[Mira]

How are things today?

[Jaquaia]

Things are ok. Feeling a little flat. I've made him narrow meeting the children down to before they go back to school. Apparently Thomas has asked a fair few questions about me and J said he seems to be much more comfortable about me than he is with her partner.

[Mira]

Sending a for how you are feeling.

Its good you put meeting the children before going back to school. When is that? I bet those days are different here. And I would be curious too and ask questions. But that also means he is interested.

From what you told us I can truly believe why he would be more comfortable around you then around her partner. For one I can believe that the atmosphere is way more relaxed on your side of the family. And I think you have a good effect on people as well. So those are all good signs.

[Suzi]

When do they go back to school?

[Jaquaia]

7th January. I've suggested my meeting them for lunch and maybe a day out the week after

[Suzi]

But that's not till after Christmas..... I thought that's what you were hoping for?
