Love On My Side
Author: Emily Giffin
Chapter 17
I can not remember how I responded to Leo's first question; Only know that we have successfully avoided to have any discussion about our relationship, or how it ended, or anything really private, for a very long time. long flight. Instead we go on safer topics like movies and music, travel and work. It's the type of talk when we first meet someone we want to understand better - or a friend has not seen for so long. We maintain a conversation on superficial issues, but there is also a hidden gulf hidden beneath, a natural flow of questions and answers, marked by silent letters. long drop. Those moments are really relaxed, so much so that we are completely drifting back into intimate feelings.
Everything went very innocently, when I finished about a photo shoot near my belt in the Adirondacks. "It's great to shoot in a small town, local people," I say, "people who are deeply attached to their land ... are so beautiful ..."
My voice narrowed as I felt Leo's gaze. When I turned to Leo, he said, "I really love my job, right?" His voice was so full of admiration that I felt my heart tremble.
"Yes," I whispered. "Yes."
"You can see that today ... I really like watching you work."
I smile, trying to resist the desire to tell him that I also enjoy watching him during the interview. Instead, I let him continue.
"Interesting," he said, almost speaking to himself. "In some ways you seem to be the same Ellen you know, but on the other hand ... you seem so different."
I wonder exactly what you judge based on what, since since going through that intersection we talk less than an hour. However, I suddenly realized that my feelings about Leo were changing, and I suddenly thought that not every story was two-sided, but that those versions could change over time.
I watched Leo take a sip from his gingerbread and suddenly found himself through his eyes. Before and now The two portrays are extremely opposed to one another. I have a glimpse of who I was beforeThis - a orphaned, isolated, poor girl, strangers to a big city, struggling to find her identity, another identity far from her oppressive hometown, with her My experience with a bright college student, my dear friend. I saw myself in my first love, and I saw that absolute love - or Leo - seemed to be my answer. lie. I have all that I want - energetic, deep, strong - and being with me makes me feel at least a little bit of the direction of all that. But the more I cling to that relationship, the more I became more precarious. That day seemed to be completely Leo's fault, but looking back, I could see that I had to take responsibility too. At least I also find out why I become less attractive to you. I think of Leo's comments late, about how much he has upgraded himself. Maybe it was true, but I could also see that I did not value myself properly. It was a lethal combination that made our breakup inevitable. "Yes. I'm happy to think I've had some change, "I said at last, as more moments in that relationship dragged on in me - things I had overlooked or simply forgotten. I remember, for example, how much Leo loved a good discussion, and how his face got irritated when I did not give him any idea. I remember your frustration because I was lacking in independence, my anger with my tendency to escape or challenge my challenge - both in work and in thought. " More things to do to grow up ... A lot of things in life to see for yourself, "Leo said, confirming that I was not the only one thinking about our relationship. I hesitantly say. Have you learned everything? "" Some things, "he said. "But life is a long journey, do you understand?" I nodded, thinking of my mother.

You are not the man of my dreams, the perfect man I used to worship; He is not a scoundrel, but Margot always has the ability to describe as a fox; Really not any of them. He was just a man who did not suit me at the time. No more, no less. "I must be very tired," Leo said after a long silence. "I'll let you sleep a bit." "That's okay," I said. "I'm talking again ..." I could hear Leo's smile as he answered me. "Once upon a time, I always said that ..." How many things hit my head in that moment - all the things that should not and half should not say that I nearly burst out. Instead, I changed the story and asked what I wanted to know since seeing him at the crossroads. "Card. I'm going to date with that? "I kept my face calm while the man waited for the
