I tried to concentrate and think clearly, and honestly ask myself the question: “Did I know?” The thing is that I always know! As soon as a man starts “giving me vibes”, the first thing I will suspect is that he is attracted to me. It might not sound very humble but it is sincerely a self-protective thing. And yet with this guy I always felt so safe. I knew that he adored me, of course, as I surely adored him. I just did not know, or perhaps I did not let myself accept, that it was like that – did I?
The phone rang again. I knew I could not put it off forever. I sighed and answered it.
“Hi, how are you? I’m good thanks – and you?….That’s great!”
“Listen I’m sorry that….” Wow, that was super-awkward, as we attempted to apologise at the same time. I kept quiet, and let him continue. “Listen I’m sorry about earlier.” His voice almost broke. “There’s something I need to tell you….” His voice died off, but he forced himself to continue: “I should have told you this a long time ago.” I could guess what he needed to tell me.
