If my life were a highway, they would now have confiscated my driver’s license.

Chapter 17 – Hot tea

NINA

“Do you believe that men and women can have a purely platonic relationship with each other?” I ask Grandma one night, while we take Gnocchi for a walk.

“What do you think?” she replies. Obviously, she’s not going to tell me how she feels about it ... Mrs. Psychologist. Sometimes, having a conversation with my grandma can be very tiresome. It’s never a normal talk, she always jumps into psychologist mode.

I’ll have to make do with this. Sighing, I give her my answer. “I think that is only possible if there is no sexual attraction between the two. Just like between me and Booty Boy, for instance.”

“Why do you ask?” From the way she looks at me, in her typical inquiring way, I conclude she is very curious about the reason for my question.

“I have a colleague at work that I’m getting to know a bit better now. We’re dating ... he has three female colleagues, with whom he has a very close friendship. He says it’s purely platonic, but I’m getting the feeling that’s not true. I don’t know if I believe in that, in a purely platonic friendship between a man and a woman.”

“The fact that they might want something different, doesn’t mean he does now, does it?”

“No, but I still find it hard to believe. I mean, these ladies are extremely beautiful and intelligent, how could any man resist that?”

“Could it be he sees them as family?”

“They have known each other long enough and they have been through a lot together, so that might be an explanation.”

“What have they been through, Nina?” she asks, and I tell her what I know.

“It sounds has if there’s a whole other story to it, but he sounds like a good person. How do you think these events affected him?”

“He appears to have suffered a lot of trauma because of them ... But now he seems over it. He is a successful businessman. And he fancies me.”

“Do you think he’s trying to save you, just like he saved those three women?”

“What do you mean? Save me from what? I don’t need to be saved. I’m happy. By the way, it’s not like he’s some kind of superman, saving fragile little women in his spare time, is he?”

“He’s not? Did you tell him about you? About your parents?”

“Well. It seems like he already knows everything, there’s not much he doesn’t know,” I say.

“Don’t you think that’s strange?”

“I do, but he says that he wants me, and in his world, that means getting to know every little detail about that person. That’s why he studied me. He says that’s the way he always gets everything he wants.”

Her face becomes completely unreadable now. I can’t sense at all how she feels about this whole story. Maybe she is completely focused on making sure I come to my own conclusions. She really is a very good psychologist.

“How do you feel about this?” she asks.
