Yeah. And if you have any questions, go ahead. I’m not afraid to talk about it. But right now, I have a much less serious question for you

ASingleRose26

Haha, sure

BigSpoon92

Would you rather be able to read minds, or have telekinesis?

ASingleRose26

Oh, read minds, definitely. I think it would be wildly entertaining. Wait, can I control it? Like, if I don’t want to hear what someone’s thinking, can I turn it off?

BigSpoon92

Haha, sure, you can control it

ASingleRose26

Think about how easy it would be to choose friends…business partners…significant others. It’s all right there. Everything you need to know

BigSpoon92

Yeah, but no one’s thoughts are going to be perfect. You’ll accidentally hear the bad stuff too. And you’ll spend forever trying to find perfection that doesn’t exist

ASingleRose26

Wow, I see you already have solid opinions about this one. You’d choose telekinesis?

BigSpoon92

Absolutely. Reading minds would take all the mystery away, and that would get boring. I’d much rather tell the trash to walk itself out to the curb than do it myself

ASingleRose26

Haha, or just hire someone to do it.

BigSpoon92

Nah, I’d rather do it with my mind. Way cooler

I take a bite of my now-cold pizza, but I don’t really taste it. I’m still reeling from his honesty about his wife. I stare at the far wall of the room, trying to picture myself falling deeply in love with someone, marrying them, and then having them ripped from me. Gone. Just gone.

And then learning how to stand back up and start over.

I gulp and press my hand to my heart.

Would I be able to love another person just as much? More? Less? I can hardly imagine how I’d feel.

But this man is trying, and he’s been so sweet so far. I think he deserves to find love again.

Could it be with me, though? Could I be content as the second woman?

Am I getting ahead of myself?

Yes, I am, just like always.
