An opening door with N.
A couple days ago she surprised me. That surprise followed an exchange where she had told me about a research project she was starting that involved gathering data from the Plenty of Fish website. I responded by telling her that I had an account on that site.

In her next email she told me she couldn’t find my profile, so I responded that one by sending my profile name. Then came the surprising email. She called me brave, she lauded me for my bathing suit picture, saying she would never be able to pull off such a picture with such aplomb. What followed was an enumerated list of good things that had happened that day. One was a reference to her husband. Another was about a dinner date she had with one of the professors from The Mount. But the third, the last point was different in character from anything she had sent me previously.

She referred to ‘us’, saying, well here, I'll show you
" And, I was very happy to hear from you. Felt a little over-exposed after all this talk of evolving/emerging/ambiguous sexual identity and group therapy and everything; I would not expect you to judge me harshly, but there is always the possibility that my many, many inconvenient mis-matches with the substance of your dreams and longings could add up to you deciding that your energies are best exerted elsewhere [“This woman is a ball of snakes!” as Bob said about a former lover from his youth; o dear…] I do understand that that point may still come, where you feel – well, shit, Daphne, I think we have ourselves firmly in the land of It’s Complicated, and we should probably Talk About It, you know? Eeek!"

We will be meeting again this Sunday, which is also Shambala New Year. She observed that we have a “New Year thing going”. She has continued her descriptions of her daily minutia, always with her own delightful wry spin on it.

And just last night she sent an email. It confirmed the location choice: Alter Egos Cafe and Hostel. Up till now she has always signed off simply with –N, but this time she added “Love”
