"In the short time you've known me; I've been gentle and considerate. I was concerned about Emily, that for some reason this may not have been what yo... really want, but were just trying to please her. I need to put that to rest before I will move forward." It was a long speech for him, not being in my short experience much of a pointless talker. He was waiting for something from me. I studied him, lots of unsaid things held back. He was clean cut, fit, professional, a few years older than me. I'm concerned about Grace. And I don't want her to get lost in the ... uniqueness, shall we say ... of your life. After talking with Grace over the last few months, and especially the last two weeks, I think I know what she's up against. I think she's facing a decision she doesn't quite understand. So I wanted to talk about it with both of you."I nodded."I think I'd like that." Grace said, letting me know she had heard. She was getting more like Catherine all the time."Greg was also a time. .." ok, it is about time" she smiles. She looks a bit scared to him. Does this mean it is going to be good? Good as he hoped?"So every morning when I cannot sleep I hope you'll find me on IM and ask me what I wear, like you always do just not in the mornings..." "now I can see why I should have, silly me. Though nothing you would have said, my dear, could compare to this..." She blushes. Finally it feels like he's there with her, not this frustrating IM conversation he half reads. "What would. ” as I came in she shut the door. I looked around the room. It was very neat and wonderfully decorated Then she told,” What are you looking around. This not where am gonna teach you. Come to my room.” I asked her where the mam was. She said she had gone out and would come by night. She said,” You don’t worry. Till then I’ll be teaching you some basics.” As she was saying this she gave me wicked smile. She took me upstairs. She asked me if I had brought any books. I said no. Then she smiled.
