This morning, he almost asked her to meet in person. If he’s being honest with himself, the virtual part of his friendship with Bridget is getting tiresome. He craves her the same way he craves that first cup of coffee of the day to give him a morning jolt.
More accurately, if he’s being honest with himself, he craves her the way he craves air to breathe.
And yet…
The smallest chance that he’d be a disappointment to her, that he wouldn’t live up to her expectations, is enough to stifle the need whenever it reaches its boiling point. has already disappointed so many people in his life; he doesn’t want to add this perfect woman to the list of humans who regret ever meeting him.
He wonders how much longer he’ll be able to take without knowing her in person. Wonders how much longer he’ll be able to keep the truth hidden. Most of all, he wonders whether she wonders as much about him as he does about her.
Bridget.
