I decided not to fight it, and as soon as I’d cleaned up from lunch I got into bed. I figured I’d have to lay there watching TV for awhile before I fell asleep, but I didn’t have any trouble at all. I was starting to drift off almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
**********
I picked Alice up from the airport when her Chicago trip was over. She looked exhausted and a little stressed out, and I was hoping my surprise would cheer her up a little. She definitely looked like she needed to sleep for quite awhile, and as much as I wanted to try and delve into what had happened in Chicago I figured it was better to wait on it, at least for a little bit.
I have to admit that I was scared to death about the office. She had the one in the house set up just the way she liked it, and since she was very particular about her space I had the nagging worry that she wouldn’t want to have the distraction of another office. It was dumb, I’ll be the first to admit it, but as we pulled into the driveway I started to think that maybe it had been a bad idea.
I felt like I should be doing something a lot more meaningful to alleviate the fears we’d talked about before, about growing distant because of the travel. I still couldn’t totally wrap my head around that, but she did seem a little anxious upon her return home and I wanted that to go away as soon as possible.
I knew it wasn’t a conscious fear for her, and I knew she couldn’t help it, but it made me feel like a bit of an ass anyway. I didn’t know what I was expected or supposed to do in order to make her feel secure, and although Shane had told me it would just take time combined with my continued efforts to make her feel better, I still felt like I should be doing something differently.
She’d called me a few times from her hotel room in Chicago, mostly to give me updates. She said it was boring and that she wished I’d just come with her in the first place. I’d told her that I wished the same thing, but there wasn’t a lot we could do about it at that point. She’d sighed a little sadly at that, but I told her that there’d be plenty of chances for us to go places together.

MT, you continue to do a beautiful job with their communication, deep understanding of each other and immense love for each other. It’s encouraging know that A had some limited movement . It was great to have Jenny and Shane there helping out D to understand what troubled A. Also felt very positive with their phone conversation. “An upgraded version of Jenny’s shed” , lmao. Oh, please let D rest longer. I do not want to see getting sick. Thank you for this update and remember school comes first.
No: I would not want to look at Betty all day in court. Woo hoo! What a great end to the week to get a new chapter from you!! It’s wonderful how the girls have such a close connection that they are able to overcome the communication issues. I laughed out loud at this: “…if I didn’t eat the food they were going to get one of their buff gay waiters to come kick my ass because it would make all three of them too tired.” You are doing a great job with the beginnings of Shenny. Poor Alice — it must be so hard for her to write about those things. I can see where she would be “off” and not want Dana to read it. I am so glad Alice liked the new office — of course, how could she not? I hope Dana gets a little more than the two hours sleep. Those hospital vigils can be so draining. Excellent chapter, as usual, MT!! Thank you so much!!!
Whoa! That was a pretty deep chapter. I have to echo most of MaGoose said…communication issues, the buff waiter, Alice dealing with the writing. Great stuff, it just shows us all how much they are REALLY meant to be together. Thanks A LOT for another outstanding chapter.
