Wonderful idea! Can you describe something that has left you breathless lately? :)

Thank you for playing, lovely! :)

I keep waking very early, while it’s still dark out. And my room is high at the top of a house, and faces a range of mountains that rolls over my entire horizon.

And so I wake up in the blue dark, and I roll out of bed, and I walk to the windows and see a long, undulating series of slow blue waves, stock still, outlined in pale yellow, then gold. At first it’s always the same. The mountains are featureless before the sun rises – they’re just dark blue, and seem as if they’re made of watercolor, or cloud. Then they lighten, and look as if someone’s outlined them in gold leaf – the kind you illuminate bibles with – and then the sky goes pink. And in the meantime, the houses and trees between me and the mountains have been pure black ink, and the birds have been singing louder and louder and louder. The air in my room is chilly, but if I touch the glass it’s hot.

@matchinacrocus said: You have done everything you can by telling him how you feel about the situation. Now it’s his choice, I’m afraid, even if you are convinced it’s a poor choice. All you can do now is be ready with open arms, a listening ear and no judgment.

Thanks for the advice, bbs. It’s hard to accept that I can’t really do much more than I’ve already done, but it helps to hear it from other people.

CA- honestly I don’t think it matters if he tells her, she knows… and I also think it would be inappropriate of him to say anything, given she has a boyfriend… and yes it would be long distance.
