Every time I walk along the beach which is most days I am reminded just why I live here. It really is the most glorious scene. I especially love the early mornings, watching the sunrise is so beautiful.
Good point about H being vulnerable when we saw the colleague. I introduced H by name and said "This is D; we work together." Now D is a lovely young guy and he knows who H is by name but he knows we're separated. At the end of the conversation, which I cut short so H was not too ill at ease, D very nicely said , "It was good to meet you H." So that made it more comfortable for H as well. As we walked on H asked a little more about him and his work.
I'm happy with today Nell but I am also realistic enough to know that it was a walk and that's it. H won't make contact again. I will initiate something along the way but again it has to be simple and uncomplicated. I have to give it time. I'm also busy proving to him that I can be a friend without the pressure of further expectation. After our NC I know he is watching and noting even if he is out of contact.
