November crossroads

On Halloween,  Dawn invited me to a private party at Nashville Nights.  I showed up and was told tho opposite of everything she said previously. I got stares and glares from the owner's family. Said hi to Dawn as she promenades in and then she starts setting up.  I recognized a few people but left very early, feeling out of place. 

We chatted for a couple days afterwards,  but I stopped chasing someone who keeps me around for her own attention when others stop chasing her after a while. That was a week ago and nothing since.

Meanwhile,  Heather strolls in on Tuesday,  after being gone since Saturday.  The ensuing week was appointment after appointment,  doctor after doctor,  descending worse into the emotional abyss of rants and crying.  I'm at the end of my rope.

Meanwhile,  Lauren had a daughter scare  with covid.  Negative. We chatted all throughout the time, and she agreed to another meeting tomorrow.  This time I pick her up at her house.  Then off to Wallace lake for a couple hours. She said she's looking forward to it.

During our talks, she and I have gotten closer.

I'm looking forward to it too. Just us. No music or loud distractions.  Maybe I'll even get to hold her hand!
