Last night, I got a text from DXW which caught me completely by surprise as I wasn't expecting to hear back from her at all. As I was very busy packing up, I responded to her a few hours later.
In DXW's text, she relayed some relief from the heat wave and hoped I would get some relief soon as well. Then she said, "Yea, time heals thanks." Very short and I know it is her way of distancing herself from the pain as I'm guessing it made her feel uncomfortable.
After some blather about the heat wave, I decided to address the "heal" elephant in the room. My foot went a bit deeper into the pool and the water level is now about halfway up to my shin. I said, "Speaking of how time heals, in a way it does. It was certainly painful for the both of us and I'm sincerely sorry for your pain. Take care, Wonka"
And left it at that. No response from DXW...as if our past pattern continues to holds up.
