Advice for newcomer pre- bomb drop.

[Bern19]

I guess you can't really call it cuddling... She puts her hand on my arm and pulls my hand up on her knee. Nothing to write home about. Of course I would have killed for her touch 3 months ago...

I heard back from one PI, but his retainer is out of sight. Tried explaining my sitch and that it would only be 2-5 hours of surveillance, tops. Hard to justify $500/hour....

I want to get this over with as soon as possible so we can figure out how to move on. The longer it takes, the closer we get to christmas and I don't want to dump this on my kids too close to the holiday.
