RE DISCOVERY

here we go again...

Alright, so V is headed to a retreat in a few weeks. It's a gathering of other married women who love women. I think it will be great for her.

In fact it will be especially great for her now. She's gotten to know someone on this message board - who thinks just like her, lives in the region and is also really looking forward to meeting V and they both are looking forward to seeing each other. They're the same age, they have the same living situation and their husbands both react similarly - except perhaps this girl and her husband are a little behind where we are on things.

So, we both saw the girl's picture for the first time last night. Yeah, she's pretty cute. I joked with V that they were going to "hook up" at the retreat, and she laughed (at my "joking" - which I was trying very hard to make light of the situation) and said, "You're funny!" She never says that. Well, maybe I'm funny - but I do know this. I'm right.

She has the look of a girl in love. It's a look I used to get years ago. In fact, she even said to me (after the "don't worry, we won't even have time to be together - we're going to be sooo busy") that she could or might "fall in love."

And for the first time... I've seen what it is like to look into my girl's eyes and realize that, she is in fact, in love with someone else.

Fortunately, I'm more calous this time than last. I need to call one or two of my female friends.
