Re: E-mail.
That makes it sound like you weren't an active participant in the telling.

Daniel,
I find you fascinating, and it makes me curious about you. I like corresponding with you, and I wouldn't believe for a moment that you haven't been cataloging what I've said and coming to your own conclusions about me. How is it any different? I simply state mine aloud and ask questions openly. You're intelligent and astute, and you can probably throw as many things back at me, as I did you. You pinpointed my parents' divorce, after all, which I had not mentioned. My father is an alcoholic, as was the lover I mentioned in the earlier e-mail. I know what the demons you face look like, and I would take them from you if I could.
I am sorry for tearing the bandages off the wounds you were so carefully guarding. Let me help to make it better in return?
I'm going to leave the office before I can do more harm. May I send you something? I await your response.
