Chapter 7

I was flicking through the news when she came in and sat on the sofa, leaning against me looking through some sites on her tablet. We passed the morning enjoying being close to each other but not doing much. Around midday I got up and made us sandwiches and bought them in with a couple of cold lemonades.

“You were going to tell me about the set up of these things. Fancy sharing or is it too much?” I asked.

“No, that’s easy, in fact there’s some good come out of all of it, but we are going to need a ‘clear the attic’ session I think.”

“If you can do both, we can do it now” I said, hoping to encourage her.

“Okay, I’ll try. There are two things I want to clear out, please try not to butt in too much, hopefully I’ll be able to make myself clear. First one is that in a peculiar way, now that I’ve got it straight in my head, I glad last night happened.”

She must have seen my reaction as she smiled, “Yes, you’re right, I hated it, but up until last night your reassurances to that frightened little girl were all theory. Then it all hit the fan and” she reached up and cupped my cheek, “you didn’t flinch, you didn’t question that it was my fault. You just held me and waited until I was ready.”

“First book of Corinthians Chapter thirteen verse four. I think quarter of a century until you finally believe me; I’m pretty patient too.” I responded with a smile. “I know they say trust but verify, that was a bit of an extreme way to verify my trust.”

She sighed, “I know, I’m sorry Luke. On the other side, if you hadn’t reassured me on several occasions, if we hadn’t had that good clear out last week; I honestly think it would have been so much worse for me, possibly even questioning your reaction. As it was it came as no surprise and I immediately felt safe and protected in the warmth of your kindness. Thank you.”

I squeezed her saying, “No need for thanks, as a wise man once said ‘love is all you need’. Though I understand what you mean, so all the talking was ground work to help you heal quickly today, ready to take on the world again.”

“You always manage to find a good angle to look at things from,” Tina was smiling her full smile.

She then continued, “The other thing I wanted to tell you about is tied in with telling you about some specifics of last night. Did you see that Diane had organised a limo for us?” I nodded.

“Well other than Abbie, I was the last one to be picked up. Although I was still a little nervous, I was determined not to ruin Abbie’s night, so agreed to a bucks fizz when I got in the car. After our chat on Sunday I thought it best to just take the drink slowly, as it was I had only had three glasses by the time I got home.
