this morning #1825.
this morning, they were talking right past one another. neither processing in a genuine way what their partner had to say. fresh off of a few days of doubt about her future, she brought up the topic of her next move. asked what he thought she should do. he responded with what was basically a non-response. answered without having to give her question any actual thought. “you should do what makes you happy.” held her hand as if he’d solved things & moved on to a totally different topic. asked if she wanted to take a road trip some time soon. while she said “sure…why not?” & then “sure” again to convince herself, there were a bunch of reasons why not. there was something bubbling just below the surface.
