Do Something DIFFERENT

[Laurie]

Dear Poet,
When I read your last paragraph, it seems like you both share some type of conversation "dance" that feels a bit like a game. Am I getting that right?

He seems to hold the "carrot" out (when he told you he worked on Sunday), you seem to be reaching for it (asking about it, if it's "under the table"), he pulls the carrot back a bit ("not exactly"), you reach a bit more ("getting paid for it?"), and then he pulls it back a final time ("sort of").

I could be reading that all wrong, but I am curious how you see it.
