Re: [Meat and Greet: Atticus and PJ]
Is okay if he's not interested. Just shouldn't put yourself down, PJ. Maybe this is more girl talk I don't know how to do. Just don't see why you should say you aren't worth loving. Not true. [Atticus had never felt more male-in-40s than he did at that moment. Wasn't a touchy feely guy. Didn't understand. Was trying to, but didn't understand.]
Asking questions in the moment always works for me. Don't plan. Am not a planner. Too late to teach this old dog new tricks, PJ. [He grinned that old and lazy grin of his.] I like myself now. Took a long time, but I do. Am OK with who I am. Not very good at helping other people with baggage. Not that selfless guy. That's OK too. Only like a few people. You're one of them.
