Completely understand. Have considered every option. Too much to explain all reasons. But here is an overview.

S24 lost DL. So he can't do the drive himself. Considering everything, I really have no choice.

Though I won't tell W S24 is coming, she will completely understand when he shows up with me. W will be glad to see him too, as he's been out for 3 month's. Will not be upset in any way with this.

Meantime, she can sit and think about whatever she has been wanting to say. But W won't have hours to talk while I drive. Will be lucky if there is 5 minutes at any point.

As I said, have thought of every angle possible. But S24 coming in gives the only chance of eliminating too much alone time, and still be a way W can't be upset about, or throw back at me in any way.

Gno, glad you're watching my back, but this actually may be the only way it could have worked out, without W having a reason to hold something against me. Unusual situation, but just have to work it in my favor.
