After some consideration over breakfast, Ernest decided that it made the most sense to see if Nora would be up for talking over GChat that morning, before she came over. He did better over text for conversations like this, and he wanted to use a keyboard, instead of typing on his phone.

Ernest made some notes in his journal of what he wanted to say to Nora, and what he remembered about their last talk that had been so muddled. When he replayed it in his head, he realized that Nora had been talking about being new at something, and he hadn’t really acknowledged that vulnerability. And here he was, new at something himself, and one of his fears was that she would reject him for it. Maybe that was the place to start, for him to acknowledge that she was new to being in a metamour relationship, and that it was vulnerable for her to be open about it.

To start where things went off the rails made a certain kind of sense, but…maybe that wasn’t the best approach, coming at this sideways. Nora had said she wanted him to be himself, that she welcomed bluntness. Maybe it would be better to start at the core of it. To just tell her that he had a crush. He didn’t feel right asking Daddy what he thought. That was kinda like going behind her back, and this was about his relationship with Nora, the potential shift from primarily being metamours to being something else. Bringing Gideon in would muddle things, he thought. So he texted Judith.

Ernest: So I’m thinking about what to say to Nora. Does it make more sense to start with where we seemed to go off the rails last week, or to just jump in the deep end and tell her I have a crush on her?
