Divorced Before 30

I answered his eloquent electronic gesture with:

Hey there. Finally got the computer up and running and changed into my “work clothes” (involves polar fleece). Tucker was glad to see me but will no doubt need some serious exercise later today. Me, too.

Thanks for the song. It’s beautiful.

Yeah, I am feeling very smiley myself. I know that we have tiptoed around things over the years, and I think that I was afraid that we’d try being physical and mess things up. Well, to be honest, we probably would have! I really do believe in the whole timing theory.

Last night felt incredibly natural to me. I simply felt drawn to you, on a lot of levels. I was (am) blown away by how wonderful it felt. Unexpectedly good. So, yes, I am very glad that we were able to bridge that gap.

Clearly I do have a lot going on in my life right now. But, as I told you yesterday afternoon, I am actually really happy. Inexplicably so. Having my life back and feeling like the real Emma again is possibly the best thing that’s ever happened to me, despite the painful path leading to this point. So, I don’t think you should worry about me in that way. Other people might not get it, but I am pretty sure that you do.

I’m off to do some work.

The day before, I’d told Josh about the inexplicable contentedness I’d felt since my divorce. Once I’d found the courage to leave the madness, any emotional shades of gray had come sharply into focus. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t blame Josh if the recency of my marital debacle made him want to run screaming. Luckily, I was pretty sure he wasn’t much of a runner or a screamer. He was more of a quiet scientist type. But still.
