NOW

“Was that typical of you at that time, to just let things slide in order to maintain peace, would you say?”

I laughed. “Not really. I wasn’t confrontational in any way, however, I was, I am again, kind of stubborn, opinionated, and not afraid to challenge where necessary. I don’t think I was ever hostile or arsy with it, but I wasn’t the sort to just shut up and put up until . . .”

“Until?” The counsellor was on a roll.

“Until Mike.”

“Why was that, Danni, or why do you think that might have been?”

“I don’t know, not with certainty. I did like him, he was charming and sweet, kind of old fashioned but not in a dated way . . . he reminded me of my dad, the good things about my dad.”

“Do you think that’s why you trusted him enough to take you home and to stay with you?”

“Yes.” I didn’t pause never mind hesitate. “Not consciously, but believe me, over the last five years I have done a lot of questioning and soul searching and I really did trust him.”

With a nod, a chew on his pencil and a pointed glance, he paused.

“What?”

“I am not suggesting that you didn’t trust him, however, from your own account, there were points during his meeting with your friend when you admit to feeling uncomfortable, and you weren’t looking for a boyfriend or a relationship, were you?”

This guy was good, he came with a good reputation and a hefty price tag and I could see why because he latched on to every minor detail I didn’t even recall sharing.

“Perhaps it is now that I am recognising those things and at the time, while it may have given me a sense of unease or something similar, maybe that was due to the fact that I didn’t really know Mike.”

Yet another nod. “That makes sense and seems perfectly reasonable to me. So, what happened with the two of you? Presumably you overcame those morning after wobbles and continued to see each other?”

“I honestly do not know how we ended up in a relationship because after that morning it was never discussed again and before you could say he’s wrong ‘un, we were very much in a relationship with labels and lots and lots of empty and broken promises.”
