Worried I found DB too late

[cw68]

Went out last night after all. I told my H he needed to get a sitter because we are switching days next week and I'm going to miss an event I wanted to attend so I didn't want to miss this Wednesday's invitation. It was a monthly sushi night with some friends. I invited my neighbor/friend of mine and she was going to meet me there.

This neighbor is very close to our family, more the kids and me, they live next door, have our pool in their yard, retired grandparents who pamper me and the kids. She and her husband get along with H, but he doesn't see them as much. Anyway, now that the background is over, I took a shower last night and H came into the room while I was drying my hair to tell me that "R" wasn't meeting me after all, she just came over. I said I'd be down in a few.

When I came into the kitchen H and "R" seemed to actually be having a pretty deep conversation. "R" was talking about how her H has more/different friends than her and she's been struggling to adjust to retired life, etc. H actually opened up to her and shared some personal struggles between us, mentioned our current sitch and our difference with friends. I was pretty surprised as H is usually much more reserved. "R" and her H would be perfect people for O to start feeling more comfortable around and talking to. With age comes wisdom, right?
