Re: Steph/Tim
It doesn't matter. It was my fault for listening to Damian in the first place. Don't tell me that you don't know what it's like to want to escape sometimes too. I throw myself into work, and maybe it isn't the best way of dealing with the difficulties of my personal life, but at least it does some good. Helping people, fixing a broken system, making a difference... I know that those things mean something to you too, Steph.
I want all of that, and I do want the connections with my family back.
No, because I got the impression that you two were making things good between you again. It seemed like everybody thought you and I were [...] unfinished, unresolved, and I didn't want that to be a wedge between whatever you were trying to fix with Eddie.
Leaving you alone when all I wanted was to talk to you over coffee again, I thought that it was the noble move. [...] A guy like that has more than one ex? Like ex-wife?
