" I'd like you to think about everything before we talk about another session. I don't know if it would help for us to meet again until you take steps...to get control of your life. I would also like to suggest you think about the idea of inviting Jenny to a session. I think you might find it very helpful in finding a way to work through your pain." He paused for emphasis. "I promise you John, I have no agenda to try to push you two back together. In fact, if you don't belong together, I think it. I knew we were only talking about a pair of Swiss rolls worth maybe a quarter, but the way she said it made me feel warm all over. I half-remembered the Dr. Seuss book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. When he discovered the meaning of Christmas his heart grew three sizes. I think it was three.

Eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty,". Instinctively, I got up and said gimme a minute and ran up to the reception at the lobby, took out my credit card and asked them to give me a day use room for 4 hours. Within a minute I had the key to room number 112 in my hands. I went back to the coffee shop and tossed the key on the table in front of her and asked her why not right now? Do you have an hour or so to spare? She was speechless for a few seconds and then said oh my god, this is so sudden, and you should have asked me at least.. Though it was a bit chilly, I walked back to the Hyatt. Rachel wasn't there, so I read my new book and looked at the reproductions of the drawings. Some of them were quite interesting, but Hinkson's commentary was even moreso. I made a note to look for her other works.Rachel returned only a few minutes after 1700, bursting with enthusiasm for the Max Dupain photos and how helpful and cooperative everyone had been. They had given her a cubicle of her own for the week.She washed up and we talked.
